Culture in Estonia - Something for EveryoneMartin Koch
Estonia has a rich culture that has been shaped by centuries of occupation by other nations. Modern Estonian culture can be seen in its language, architecture, folk songs, and traditional arts. There is a variety of cultural experiences available across Estonia, from medieval towns to rural areas preserving unique traditions. Festivals celebrate music, film, dance, and theater throughout the year. Estonia's cultural offerings provide insight into the country's history and the interweaving of various influences on its culture.
