Estonia, with its white sand beaches and a capital filled with medieval architecture, has been named the best value destination for travellers in 2016.

The country has topped the list of Lonely Planet’s annual 10 best value destinations guide, and is closely followed by Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi in Vietnam, East Africa, New Mexico and Galacia in Spain.
