    Geographically, Estonia is on the north-eastern edge of the European Union, bordering Russia and Latvia.
    Finland is a short hop across the sea – just 80 km away.
    There are ferries to Tallinn from Helsinki (Finland) or Stockholm (Sweden).
    Estonia is in the Schengen Area, so we have open borders with the rest of Europe.
    Brits, Americans, Canadians and Australians can also enter Estonia visa-free.
    Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport, named after our President, has direct flights all over Europe.
    Estonia has a population of just 1.3 million but is larger than Denmark or Holland.
    The Estonian language is a finno-ugric language - resembles most to Finnish and is different from Latvian and Russian language.   
    Everyone in tourism speaks good English and often German, Finnish, Russian and Swedish too!
    Estonia was occupied by the Soviets for decades but Estonia sees itself as more influenced by Nordic tastes and traditions - Scandinavia with a twist.
    Occupation by Germans, Swedes and Russians has influenced the architecture of cathedrals, cobbled streets, manor houses and palaces.
