Why visit Estonia

Tallinn's old town is a UNESCO checklist of medieval merchant guilds, but step three blocks past the city walls and you're in Telliskivi, where Soviet rail sheds now hold concept stores and craft bars. That contrast runs through the whole country: a thousand-year history wrapped around the world's most aggressive digital state.

Half of Estonia is forest. Lahemaa's bogs and manor houses sit an hour from the capital, the western islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa stay cinematically empty, and the smoke saunas of Võrumaa belong on the UNESCO heritage list — they are.
