Estonia lies in Eastern Europe, bordering the Baltic Sea and Gulf of Finland. It has an extensive coastline stretching 3,794 kilometres, including over 1,500 islands in the Baltic Sea. Since the last Russian troops left in 1994, Estonia has been free to promote economic and political ties with Western Europe. Now you can do it all in Estonia, the small territory which packs in some charming quirks without ruining your budget ? from blood sausages washed down with a syrupy liquor of unknown origin to abandoned Soviet military installations. Or go bog walking then get flogged with birch branches in a scorching hot sauna!This is Estonia.
