Estonia boasts the 3000-year-old crater of an iron meteorite that influenced the religions and customs of the Baltic Sea region. Tallinn has one of the most authentic Medieval Old Towns. The Kunda and Pärnu settlements are older than most cradles of the European civilisation. Our language contains about a thousand words that date back to the last ice age. Our capital has one of the most seamless wireless Internet networks in the world.

Estonia is a small country but it has a rich inner life. As a young state that has for long remained in the shadow, the introduction of our inner riches to the whole world is essential in regard to the preservation of Estonia’s uniqueness and the growth of its people.

Being part of several different cultural areas at once, Estonia offers a wide range of sights and experiences.

Estonians are rational and prudent.

Estonians live in a Nordic country. This means pristine nature and pure wilderness, as well as periods of white nights or limited daylight. It is the climate that has given us our strict discipline: clear shapes and quality both in thinking and actions. Estonians care about sustainable development and are concerned about the future.

Estonians have deep roots.

Estonians have been living in their homeland for thousands of years. This is rare even in Europe, not to mention the rest of the world. We have been facing disasters, rulers, wars and climate, but we prevailed. This gives us our historic heritage, unique in the whole world. It gives us the unique language and traditions, but makes us also calculating and introverted.

Estonians are an open Nordic nation.

Estonians originate from the East and in the course of times many other people have come here to stay as well. It would be naive to think that Estonians have no connection to the Rising Sun. Within the ancient and closed world there is another world full of emotions, surprises and exotics. Estonians' sense of hospitality has come from the East. The Eastern influence can also be felt in the modern-day educational level of Estonians. The influence of the East can also be interpreted as Estonians' international or multi-cultural feature.

Estonians adapt fast

Estonia is logistically in a challenging location––at a meeting point of seas, land, forest and different cultures. Estonians have become skilled in adjusting to new conditions. Perhaps our creative skills are not as good as in Southern nations, but we are smart and quick in implementing novel technologies. Estonians' love for the Internet and mobile technology is a good example of our adaptability. Estonians are pioneers, who rapidly deploy efficient means (from slash and burn agriculture to gene technology). There are many things that Estonians take for granted, while in the rest of the world these things still belong to science fiction.

Estonia is easy to reach by car, bus, plane and boat but reaching Estonia by train is only good if you are coming from Russia or Latvia.

Visit Estonia, it is a small, but proud nation that integrates both extremes: old and new, established and innovative, cold and warm. Estonia is positively controversial and full of surprises.
