Estonia is a relatively undiscovered country of wetlands – raised bogs, fens, swamp forests, coastal marshes. Around 50% of Estonia’s territory is covered by forests. As a result, Estonia has the 4th best air quality in the world. Also, approx. one quarter of the country is covered in marshes.
Estonia has a population of just 1.3 million but is larger than Denmark or the Netherlands. Being among the least densely populated countries in Europe, Estonia makes for a great nature and city break destination for those looking to stretch out their limbs and enjoy some peace, quiet, and solitude. It has 6 national parks, 3 of which have EUROPARC Federation recognition.
The capital city Tallinn is the best-preserved medieval city in Northern Europe. Estonia’s UNESCO world heritage capital Tallinn was granted city rights in the 13th century by the King of Denmark. Since then, the streets of Tallinn have seen many world powers, from the Danes and Swedes to Germans, and tsarist and Soviet Russia.
Estonia is a Digital Society. From voting to signing documents to doing taxes online, Estonia implements a fast, hassle-free and modern approach to doing errands. Free time is spent in nature and enjoying the wildlife diversity, as for example 380 species of birds are spotted in Estonia annually. Read more here.
Estonia has over 2,000 islands and is the only Baltic country with a deep-rooted and extensive island culture. Although most are uninhabited, Estonian islands tend to be rural, with some holding traces of their local Viking and medieval legacy.
Tartu is the Estonian center of science and culture; it also has a long-term tradition in peatland research.
The University of Tartu is Estonia’s leading centre of research and training. It was founded in 1632 by the Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus and it is the oldest and largest university in Estonia and has been the centre of Estonian academic life for almost four centuries. The University of Tartu belongs to the top 2% of world’s best universities. There are over 13,000 students, including over 800 international students from 70 countries, and 3000 staff members study and work in a diverse range of fields connected by the power of curiosity.
