Estonia
Estonia is the most northern and the smallest of the three Baltic countries. Estonia in many ways is similar to Denmark with her half-magic architecture and moist sea air, which fills the lungs, all the time while you are traveling through that country.
Tallinn, the capital of Estonia as well as Copenhagen, seems to be the real realization of tales of Andersen. Even in those days, when Estonia was a part of the Soviet Union, Tallinn was able to keep its European character and did not dissolve in the multitude of grey and faceless multistories, the basic architectural preferences of the Soviet era.
The streets of Tallinn are quiet and cosy. Walking on them you have an impression that nothing is unable to shake the local unhurried course of events. This typical Scandinavian slowness makes Tallinn one of the most popular places among the Swedes, Norwegians, and especially among tourists from Finland.
Among the resort areas of Estonia that should be marked out is Piarnu. Piarnu is a city with ancient architecture. Formerly wealthy merchants settled here (the city was located on the path of trade routes from Scandinavia to Russia). Piarnu in Estonia is considered to be the main resort, as the same Sochi for Russia.
As a popular recreational options in Estonia there are cruises on the Baltic Sea with visits to the islands. There are a few islands in Estonia, the biggest of which is the island Saaremaa. Taking into the consideration a high demand for cruises in the Gulf of Finland, Estonia in 2002 launched one of the largest cruise ships in the Baltic Sea. The ship «Romance» is walking daily on the very popular sea route of Estonia «Tallinn-Helsinki».
