Estonia
Culture of Estonia
Though with a population of a little more than one million, Estonia still boasts a rich history of art, literature, cinema and theatre. The Estonian language and culture are the main vehicles for maintaining Estonian identity, and the people of Estonia have always revered their cultural treasures.
Public holidays in Estonia
There are no many holidays to celebrate in Estonia. The ones we have here are mostly international or ones involving our independency! Nonetheless, we are always happy here to get a day off when a bank holiday appears and trying to take it as a little surprise. There are 12 such 'surprises' a year!
People of Estonia
Estonians belong to the Finno-Ugric peoples, as do the Finns and the Hungarians. Archaeological research confirms the existence of human activity in the region as early as 8000 BC; by 3500 BC the principal ancestors of the Estonians had arrived from the east.
