Estonia at a Glance
Estonia is the smallest and most northerly of the Baltic states, offers remarkably diverse architectural and scenic attractions. The medieval capital of Tallinn, with its narrow cobbled streets and air of timelessness, repays a visit in its own right and is an ideal city break destination. But this guide also allows you to explore further afield, leading you to newly restored manorhouses, enchanting windmills and the wild beauty of the western islands. Accessible, yet surprisingly uncrowded, Estonia is a prime destination for cultural tourists seeking to enjoy the charm of the Baltic States. Relevant websites: www.regent-holidays.co.uk
