Located on the shores of the Baltic Sea, Estonia is a country of glacial landscapes, populated by forests, lakes and rivers. One of its most interesting aspects is its combination of history and modernity, of which Tallinn is the perfect example. The city has cobbled streets, a medieval city wall preserved to perfection, buildings constructed five centuries ago, bustling craft markets and a historic centre (the Old Town), declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. Moreover, the islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa are two very popular resorts. Sports such as cycling and skiing are very popular in this country, which has particularly suitable spots for such activities.
