Estonia, the northernmost of the Baltic states, is having its moment in the sun. With a groundswell of design hotels, buzzy restaurants, and detour-worthy wellness destinations, the nation of just 1.3 million people is emerging as Eastern Europe’s new hotspot, giving travelers reason to skip neighboring Scandinavia in favor of a more underrated design- and culture-filled getaway.

While capital city Tallinn typically steals the spotlight, even the country’s lesser-known towns and islands (there are more than 2,000 of them) are coming into focus. The second-largest city, Tartu, famed for its neoclassical architecture and heavyweight museums, has been crowned the European Capital of Culture in 2024. And last year, Estonia became the first Baltic country with its own Michelin guide; its 34 starred selections range from a two-starred temple of gastronomy in Tallinn to a quaint coastal inn in the beachfront village of Võsu.
