#27 Estonia

Estonia is a place on the move. After years under Soviet rule, this smart country has exploded with activity and wealth. I visited for a single day via a ferry trip from Helsinki. I visited the capital, Tallinn. It's a lovely medieval city, preserved, complete with city wall and fairy tale towers. During the Soviet era, this was a popular holiday destination for Russians and it's easy to see why. The people are just behind the Scandinavians with their English, which makes traveling a breeze. Visit now before it's ruined by the visiting English dudes on stag weekends/
