Of all the places I have traveled, Estonia and Cuba were undoubtedly the most interesting. Traveling through Estonia, and particularly Tallinn was like traveling back in time. The cobble streets, and medieval looking buildings were incredible. One awesome thing I didn’t know before going is that Estonia actually has one of the most advanced wifi rollouts out of Europe. Amazingly my US cell phone got full service the entire time I was there; it did, however, cost $1.99 a minute, so talk fast!

I wouldn’t recommend going anytime other than the middle of Summer. It’s light until Midnight, and the sun comes back up at 3:30AM! Think if you reversed that, you’d probably see the sun for around 4-5 hours a day if you went during the winter - simple answer, don’t go that time of year.

I got there by flying to London, England, then to Frankfurt, Germany, then Tallinn, Estonia. I’m not sure I would recommend going for more than a few days, since I covered the city of Tallinn twice in two days. That said, it was pretty cool, and you’re close to many other interesting places to visit such as Finland, Sweden, and Norway. If you go during the Summer, you can hit all these places as well. Again, the winter will be a lot of darkness.
