• Relax in Haapsalu, a small town on the western coast which has been a well-known resort since the 19th century. It is the ideal place to get away from it all with its romantic wooden houses and tree-lined avenues (website: www.haapsalu.ee).
• Explore the countryside and see unspoilt forest and bogs, picturesque old fishing villages and historic manor houses in one of Estonia's three national parks – Lahemaa (website: www.lahemaa.ee), Soomaa (website: www.soomaa.com) and Vilsandi.
• Catch a glimpse of wildlife such as lynx, bears, wolves and elk. Watch birds including eagles, storks and a variety of wetland birds at Käina Bay Bird Reserve and Matsalu Nature Reserve (website: www.matsalu.ee).
• Spot unusual trains on the wide-gauge track, and visit the Railway Museum in Haapsalu; pay respects in the 'train graveyard' behind the museum (website: www.jaam.ee).
• Swim from white sandy beaches, or in pools and lakes abound in the interior of the country. Dare to bare in the north of the country, where it is possible to find small coves used for nude bathing, though there are no designated areas for this.
• Hike or cycle on unspoiled Saaremaa Island (website: www.saaremaa.ee).
• Practise outdoor activities in Otepää, with its lakes and forests, such as skiing in the winter or canoeing (website: www.otepaa.ee).
