Estonia. Anyone been?

Jesper

Offer in for Estonia from Nov to Feb for 2 nights 3 days flights and hotel for 200e. Want to know if anyone has been there and is it worth going? I'd love to go for new years and not have the same Irish new year again.

Sounds like a nice deal, any more info or links?
Only draw back I can see is that it can be very cold over there at that time of the year.
Still for €200 I'd get the thermal long john's out

Are you flying to Tallinn?

It'll be very, very cold but in a fun way! There will probably be heavy snow cover. There will be a much better winter atmosphere because of this imho.

Tallinn one of the most beautiful European cities I've ever visited. It's considered to be one of the best preserved medieval cities in Europe.

You'll probably spend most of your time in the Old Town (see pic), this is historical and touristy area. There are nice restaurants and (24-hour) bars around Visit the town hall in the main square where you'll also find Irish bars (surpise surprise). There's a little candle-lit café in the cellar of the town hall that's well worth a visit. The entrance is at the front of the hall.

A. Le Coq is the local beer, it's fantastic. You can also find 80% Estonian vodka in off licenses. Dangerous stuff.

Estonia is a tiny, tiny country and you can cross it in a few hours. The Baltic coastline has some great forests and beaches. Trees, sea, sand and heavy snow can be quite dramatic.

Enjoy it.
