many. What are the most interesting sights in Tallinn? „I have no idea“ would be the answer in most
cases. This is a good reason to come and explore.
If you're tired of the busy and stressful world you're living in today, it is time for you to take your
gateway trip. Estonia is an off the beaten track destination that may surprise you in the most positive way.

History and architecture. Estonia is a small country with rich history. Being on the crossroads meant
numerous conquests and occupations that have their reflections in architecture. German merchants
dwellinghouses, Scandinavian seafarers churches, Livonian bishops fortresses, onion domes of Russian
orthodox churches. All this and much more. Tallinn has one of the best preserved medieval Old Towns in
Europe where maybe not each separate building but the whole ensemble is invaluable. Estonia has more
than 500 manor houses dating back to 16th-19th centuries, about 100 of them is renovated and in use,
many of them as museums or hotels and spas.
