Question Estonia vs Latvia: Which to Choose?

[JetLaggedJake]

Hello, I will be traveling through Europe in early December and have the opportunity to briefly visit either Estonia or Latvia. I'm torn between the two! I'm looking for a mix of culture, history, and maybe some winter festivities. If you've been to either of these countries during this time, what was your experience like? Was there a particular city or activity that stood out to you? Any tips on which might be better to explore for a quick trip would be super helpful!

Both Estonia and Latvia offer unique experiences, especially in December! If you're after winter festivities, Tallinn, Estonia, transforms into a winter wonderland with its Christmas market and medieval architecture. On the other hand, Riga, Latvia, boasts a vibrant atmosphere with its Art Nouveau buildings and festive events throughout the city.

Have you thought about which kind of culture or activities excite you more? That might help narrow it down!
