Is SAAREMAA SAFE NOW in 2020? ESTONIAS FORMER ‘CORONA ISLAND’ EXPLORING KURESSAARE CASTLE & FORTRESS

The CAPITAL of SAAREMAA - KURESSAARE we’re finally exploring the island after the pandemic quarantine.

In this video we continue our tour of Estonia as we head over to KURESSAARE CASTLE in Kuressaare, the capital of Saaremaa which during the height of the pandemic in March was labeled the ’CORONA ISLAND’ after half of it’s population were thought to have contracted COVID19 and the island was completely shut off from the Estonian mainland. Check out our comparison video to see how well they dealt with it: https://youtu.be/0sWUqhneJlk

We were so pleased to finally make it to this island and to check out one of the most spectacular castle fortresses we’ve ever seen! The island is spacious and the people are so friendly, there is no crowding so it feels completely safe and no one appears to be living in fear of the coronavirus here.

After exploring the town of Kuressaare in the morning: https://youtu.be/jIG_Tk5d264 we waited for the rain to pass then made our way over to the castle for an afternoon of sunshine and sightseeing!

The well preserved castle and fortress dates back to the 14th century and like most of Estonia it too has had a colourful history. We just couldn’t believe that just a short walk from the main town of Kuressaare there is this incredible Castle - fortress (Arensburg) just perched next to the sea, it is truly incredible!

Upcoming videos!

We continue exploring the island of Saaremaa and head out of the main town to see what else the island has to offer.

A British couple from just outside London, England. We got married in 2018 and decided instead of a honeymoon we’d travel the world together for a year. We saved money and travel points, quit our jobs, rented our house out and boarded a one way flight. We started this Youtube channel to share our experiences with friends, family and anyone who plans to travel to the places we’re visiting. We leave TKT tips/facts on our vlogs and blogs to give information that we wish we’d had before visiting. We hope you find our content useful :)
