Estonia
From its long summer nights and surprising fifth season to its centuries-old charm fostering tomorrow’s tech talent, Estonia has a spellbinding ability to flex its space and time, so it’s tailored to you. Its compact size and effortless accessibility mean whether you’re here for a weekend or for weeks, there’s simply more time to connect to the place and its people. A place that connects Europe with the East and Estonia to the world. A place that fuses Nordic, Baltic, Scandi and Soviet. A place that’s taken the best of each chapter, to write its own unique story. A place that helps you to understand your own place in the world. A place that, for a lot of people, isn’t even on their radar. But it’s about time it was.

The city is special because of its sea, rivers, beaches and promenades and its many parks, avenues and forest groves. Pärnu’s diversity and amenities have made it a resort with a 180-year history, which is why protecting and valuing its nature is a priority when it comes to the development of the city.
