To fully experience the Baltic flavour

 

Each has its own flavour

Three countries on the shores of the Baltic Sea – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania may be surprisingly contrasting, but all three are united by their common history going back many centuries, and the joint struggle for independence. To fully experience the Baltic flavour, one should visit all three.

Discover a natural bounty of cultural riches in the forests and lakes that cover endless stretches of countryside. Explore Gūtmaņala Cave, the largest in the Baltic States. Cruise the splendid Baltic Sea coastline. Tour the wonders of the Estonian archipelago, the islet of Neringa and the Curonian Spit, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Look for pebbles of golden amber on the coast.

Marvel in the medieval ramparts, the world’s preeminent collection of art nouveau architecture, and a rich crossroads of Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and classical buildings in the region’s proud capitals. Surround yourself with exotic languages, a history of merchant cultures and burgeoning tourist experiences.

Latvia

The capital of Latvia is Riga. Thanks to its multiple extraordinary beautiful art nouveau buildings, it is considered the European art nouveau metropolis.

Lithuania

Baroque, the most prominent architectural style in predominantly Catholic Lithuania, is at its utmost in the capital city of Vilnius, whose features are unimaginable without sacred baroque architecture.

Estonia

And finally, northernmost Estonia offers visitors to experience the spirit of the Medieval Ages, omnipresent in the cobblestone streets and buildings of Tallinn.
