Discover Estonia: A Gem of the Baltic RegionWe have visited Estonia twice staying in the historical Tallinn and travelling south to the wonderful seaside town of Parnu for two weeks. While both places are very historical, Parnu has an absolutely beautiful sandy beach and very reminiscent of an typical oldy worldy seaside town with ice cream and snack parlours. With a luxurious coach and train network, travelling around Estonia was a beautiful experience with wide open countryside, unique and historical buildings and guess what? Only saw one pothole!! With a population of about 2 million, its infrastructure puts the UK to shame as the third world country. If you have never been there, please do. Landing in Tallinn, stay in a central hotel and spend a couple days exploring Tallinn's rich history. Then take the luxury coach to Parnu for a great seaside holiday Estonia, a small yet enchanting country in Northern Europe, is a hidden gem brimming with natural beauty, medieval architecture, and a rich cultural heritage.
