“Throughout my time in Estonia, I couldn’t have felt safer,” said Veronika Romane, who blogs at Aim To Discover. Tallin’s Unesco-listed Old Town is an ideal starting point. “It’s intuitively easy,” Romane said. “Pebbled roads, small shops with traditional crafts and food, an art scene and the rich history of Tallinn’s streets made me feel completely at ease exploring on my own.”

Just west of the capital, Tabasalu Nature Park offers a scenic nature escape, where limestone cliffs rise above the Baltic Sea. “It was the perfect place for a peaceful and scenic hike,” said Romane. “I felt at peace being there alone. The few people I met in the area were very kind and welcoming, simply there to enjoy nature just as I was.”
