At the start of the new year, it’s a good moment to take a look back and list the Baltic Guide online news topics that received the most clicks from readers in 2025. Here is the Top 5 in reverse order:

5: Naked in Tallinn, written by our editor-in-chief Susanna Poikela, explores Tallinn’s nude beaches with her dogs, which are also nude by the way. This article reveals—ahem!—the most popular, as well as some relatively unknown, beaches where visitors can go skinny-dipping or sunbathe au naturale.

4: Estonia Is the World’s Cleanest Country?, by Stewart Johnson. Estonia was recently named the World’s Cleanest Country, according to the Environmental Performance Index, or EPI. But is it true? The article explores how the rankings are made, and one major factor isn’t necessarily how clean a country really is, but how much that country has improved over the last year.

3: How to Become an Estonian, also by Stewart Johnson. This is a humorous guide to understanding those little cultural quirks that make you love or hate a place you visit. This guide also helps you overcome some cultural differences to make your stay more enjoyable, and definitely more fun.

2: The 15 Best Early-Opening Breakfast Places in Tallinn, by Mikko Savikko. This piece is exactly what the title describes, the 15 best places to get an early breakfast in Tallinn, which is an especially useful article if you also have to catch an early ferry.

And now…drum roll please…
