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)

Great mix of capitals and quiet towns 1 , 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.
