Discover the cultural treasures and timeless charm of the Baltic: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. This 6-day journey weaves through medieval cities, baroque palaces, dramatic castles, lush national parks, and sacred sites steeped in folklore. With each stop, from Tallinn’s cobbled Old Town to Vilnius’ baroque grandeur, you’ll explore a region that’s rich in history, yet refreshingly undiscovered by the typical traveler.
Arrive in Tallinn via the Tallink Ferry from Helsinki. After a warm welcome and private transfer, enjoy a 2-hour guided walking tour of the beautifully preserved Old Town. Visit landmarks like the Gothic Town Hall, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, and Toompea Hill. Continue to the elegant Kadriorg Palace (exterior) and Pirita coastal district, home to the 1980 Olympic Marina and St. Bridget’s Convent. Overnight in Tallinn.
After breakfast, journey to Riga via the picturesque Gauja National Park. Explore Sigulda and Turaida, including the medieval Turaida Castle, Gutmanis Cave, the wooden church, and Dainu Hill sculpture garden. After soaking in nature and Latvian folklore, continue to Riga for overnight stay.
Discover Riga’s Old Town on a 2-hour walking tour, visiting landmarks like St. Peter’s Church, the Cat House, the Swedish Gate, Riga Castle, and the iconic House of the Blackheads. Spend your afternoon exploring Riga Central Market, set in historic Zeppelin hangars, or enjoy a river cruise on the Daugava for panoramic city views. Overnight in Riga.
Begin with a visit to Bauska Castle (free time) and a private guided tour of the stunning Rundale Palace, an architectural masterpiece designed by Rastrelli. Stroll through its original baroque gardens. Later, stop at the Hill of Crosses—one of the most spiritual sites in the Baltics with over 100,000 crosses, before heading into Lithuania. Arrive in Vilnius for an overnight stay.
After breakfast, set out to the fairytale-like island castle of Trakai, surrounded by tranquil lakes. Explore its museum and medieval history. En route back, stop at Kernavė—Lithuania’s first capital and a UNESCO-listed archaeological site with a rich prehistoric and medieval legacy. Return to Vilnius and enjoy leisure time in the city. Overnight in Vilnius.
Wrap up your Baltic journey with a guided walking tour of Vilnius Old Town, one of Eastern Europe’s largest and most beautiful historic centers.
