Introduction

Estonia is the smallest of the three Baltic states and linguistically Estonia has more in common with Finland than its Baltic neighbors. Forests cover nearly 40% of the countryside, and 10% of Estonia's landmass comprises islands in the Baltic Sea. The country also has numerous lakes and sports the highest point in the Baltics. From a rich cultural heritage to abundant and unspoiled nature, Estonia has much to offer as a destination.
