Overview

Read reviews and enjoy exclusive savings on G Adventures 13 Day Baltic Adventure. Decades after the fall of communism, the Baltic countries of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia remain a mystery to most travellers. We’re not complaining, though; more mystery means fewer crowds and an easier time getting to know these fantastic countries. Beginning in charming cobblestoned Vilnius and ending in beautiful Helsinki, this two-week trip gets to the very heart of the region. Get an up-close glimpse of Riga’s castles and art district, experience rural life in Estonia,...read more and venture into the fortresses and medieval architecture of Tallinn before crossing to Finland by ferry.

Itinerary

We recommend arriving a day or two early to fully explore this charming city. There are no planned activities until an evening welcome meeting. Stay: Comfort Hotel LT Rock'N'Roll Vilnius

Spend free time walking through charming old town or searching out artist havens and modern statues. Multi-faceted, puzzling, a heady mix of old and new, Vilnius has all the glories of a royal past, the troubling reminders of wartime and Communist atrocities and a vibrant forward-looking outlook. Stay: Comfort Hotel LT Rock'N'Roll Vilnius (B)

Travel by private vehicle to Klaipeda, one of the oldest cities in Lithuania. Set out on a CEO led orientation walk, visiting famous sights, and seeing up close the many interesting sculptures that make Klaipeda unique. Make brief stops at Theatre Square, in the heart of the old town, to see the sculpture of Ann from Tharau in the square’s centre fountain. Then walk by Klaipeda Castle, first mentioned in written sources as early as 1252. The orientation walk will finish at a local gastropub with a local beer, where afterwards you can opt to grab some dinner on your own. Stay: Dange Hotel (B)

The Curonian Spit is a long, thin sand bar, dotted with dune that separates the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea. This spit is shared by Lithuania and Kalingrad, Russia's western most oblast. The forested hills, known as Hill of Witches used to be the site of dancing and gathering during Pagan festivals. Now, the hills are dotted with wooden statues created by local artists, depicting witches, dragons, and the elements. Some of the statues tell stories of the local legends and folklore, bringing the region to life with their intricate carvings. Stay: Dange Hotel (B)

Explore the narrow streets on foot and get better acquainted with the city known as "the Paris of the East". Opt to visit St Peter's Church, where we ascend the spire by lift, for a fantastic view over the city. Stay: A1 Hotel Riga (B)

Enjoy a guided tour and a lunch of treats from the Central Market. Spend a free afternoon exploring the city. Stay: A1 Hotel Riga (B/L)

Saaremaa is a remote island in the Baltic Sea with unique traditions and heritage. Thatched roof houses, stone walls, and windmills make up this fairytale landscape. Enjoy three nights on a farm outside the main city of Kuressaare. Stay: Jurna Farmhouse (B/D)

Enjoy a tour of Saaremaa including a visit to the Kaali meteorite lake, bakeries, and windmills. Opt to visit the local breweries. Stay: Jurna Farmhouse (B/D)

Enjoy a free day to explore. Opt to visit some of the ancient churches or natural sites like the lake, the Panga Cliff, and the Pühatu Springs. Stay: Jurna Farmhouse (B/D)

Travel to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. Fall in love with this medieval town. Enjoy an included visit to Kadriorg Palace. Stay: Rixwell Viru Square Hotel (B)

Spend a free day exploring this medieval city. Use your free time to visit the Museum of the Occupation, the Dome Church, the open air museum, go sea kayaking, visit the beaches, or relax in a sauna. Stay: Rixwell Viru Square Hotel (B)

Travel by ferry to the charming capital city of Helsinki. Enjoy an afternoon in the Scandinavian city with an orientation walk and free time. Stay: Hotel Arthur Helsinki (B)

Depart at any time. (B)

Great mix of capitals and quiet towns 0 , NSW, Australia, Jul 2018
Great way to travel in a small group with a young enthusiastic tour leader. Loved the three night stay on the island off Estonia. Some hotels basic but the price reflects this. They were all comfortable.
