Footloose and Fancy Free?
Fighting the winter doldrums? Maybe a visit to the native homeland of the Jarvi clan is just what the doctor ordered! Frommer's reports that depsite the weak value of the dollar in Europe, you can still live the high life if you just Go East, Way East to Rediscover Budget Europe.
"According to the State Department's per diem rates [listed below], [Estonia] is one of the six cheapest countries in Europe[$130-$196]...."
Package trips to Estonia and the Baltics are detailed in The Baltic States Are Hot Off-Season, We're Tallinn Ya. "The final trip, to Tallinn, Estonia -- the Baltic's most Scandinavian capital, on the Gulf of Finland -- takes you along the coast to the Metropol, a new, 3-star hotel with views of the Old Town or the sea. The organized tour includes Tallinn's old town, considered the best example of Gothic architecture in the Baltic and Nordic countries, with parts of its original rampart walls still intact; Town Hall Square, the only original Gothic town hall in northern Europe; the Toompea (Upper Town) Castle fortifications; the 13th-century Dome Church; the 18th century Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Alexander Nevskij; the medeival Guild houses; and the 13th-century Oleviste Church, built in honor of Norway's King Olaf II."
And, of course, this trip would also make the ideal time to hear the Grammy award-winning Estonian National Symphony!
