Estonia

The latest country to adopt the Euro, this tiny Baltic state is no longer Europe’s best kept secret. Its mix of Eastern European and Nordic culture, plus its unspoilt coastline, stunning national parks, traditional festivals and magnificent castles make it one of this year’s up-and-coming tourist destinations. In addition, the main city of Tallinn, with its fairy-tale style medieval centre, has been designated European Capital of Culture for 2011.
