Estonia
Tallinn pairs a walled medieval old town with the most digitized bureaucracy in Europe, and quiet forests and bog trails start twenty minutes from the city center. Summers are bright and mild, but from November to February daylight shrinks to a few gray hours, which is the single factor that decides whether a long stay works for you.
