Probably not a place many people think or want to visit but Tallinn, its capital, was one of the
most enchanting cities. I would recommend visiting this city by taking a Baltic Cruise from Stockholm (then you get to see Stockholm). The cruises are about $13 and either run Friday to Sunday or Sunday to Tuesday. You are in port from 9 AM to 5 PM which gives you enough time to see everything and choose an activity or two. Estonia was my first trip, so I was quite unaware of what I should do, it was very much a trial and error trip. But it was great. Tallinn is quaint but with tons of history. The cobbled streets and Russian architecture are beautiful and the square is bustling with activity. If you are an avid traveler and looking for new adventures and places, try Estonia. It's waiting.
- Edinburgh
This Scottish city has become quite the hot spot, with its streets constantly filled with festivals and activities. It is so hard to describe Edinburgh, it is old and architecturally beautiful, small but with incredibly steep hills, packed with buildings yet surrounded by flowing green hills and glistening blue water. Scotland is breath-taking and this city truly reflects the history and yet the future of the people. Walk the Royal Mile to the Palace of Holyrood House and Parliament, tour the infamous castle, step into the Whisky Experience, climb Calton Hill, spend some time in front of masterpieces in the National Art Museum and stroll along Princes Street for some shopping. I spent one day in this unique, intriguing city yet a weekend would be much more satisfying. Here's a side note: the Scottish accent is incredibly hard to understand, it's a low mumble filled with a whole lot of local slang, so don't feel bad if you have to ask that barista to repeat herself, they get it a lot.
Traveling is more everyone. Even if you prefer stay-cations or hate the thought of airplanes, there are so many more options to choose from to still see other parts of the world. If you hate crowds, Central and South America plus parts of South Asia hold some of the most remote sites in the world. If you need adventure, excitement and spontaneity, every country and continent provides many death-defying activities. Plus, airplanes aren't the only way to get from here, to there. Take trains, boats, ships, buses, taxis, or hot air balloons. Travel solo, in pairs, by small group or large tours; with strangers, friends or family. No matter what you choose, get out there! See and experience something completely different. You may get bit by the travel bug, and you may not. But either way you are living life and creating a memory that will last a lifetime.
