  • Days 1-2

    Vilnius, Lithuania

    Begin in Lithuania's capital. The Old Town walking tour covers 7km so pack comfortable shoes with good grip for the cobblestone streets. Visit Vilnius Cathedral and Gediminas Tower in the morning to avoid crowds. Most travelers enjoy the afternoon trip to Trakai Castle, about 67km round trip. One visitor commented: "The city tours were quite comprehensive with knowledgeable guides."

    
  • Day 3

    Vilnius to Riga (377km)

    The journey includes two stops. Start at the Hill of Crosses in the morning. You can bring a small cross to add to the collection. Next is Rundale Palace, known as the "Latvian Versailles." Book your palace entry time ahead if visiting in summer to skip the lines.

    
  • Days 4-5

    Riga, Latvia

    Give Riga two full days. Visit the Art Nouveau district in the early morning for the best photos. Take a side trip to Jurmala beach town if you want to see more of Latvia. One guest noted: "I enjoyed all the city walking tours and optional tours. The weather was fantastic until we reached Tallinn." The organ concert at Dome Cathedral is worth your time.

    
  • Days 6-7

    Tallinn, Estonia

    Stop in Parnu on your way from Riga. Tallinn's medieval Old Town is small but has steep hills, especially around Toompea Castle. A traveler shared: "The hotels are centrally located with cozy cafeterias nearby where we spent evenings with our tour friends." Visit Kadriorg Park and KUMU art museum for a modern break from the old city.

    
  • Days 8-10

    Helsinki, Finland

    Take the 2-hour ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki. Sit on the port side to watch Helsinki come into view. The design district is spread out so consider getting a public transport pass. The Church-in-the-Rock is a must-see but check when it's open as concerts sometimes take over the space. For the Suomenlinna Fortress tour, take an early water bus to avoid afternoon winds.

  • Days 1-2

    Helsinki

    Begin your Baltic journey in Finland's coastal capital. Visit Senate Square and Helsinki Cathedral in the early morning for the best photos. "The harbourside location makes orientation easy, but pack layers as the sea breeze can be chilly even in summer." Spend day 2 exploring at your own pace. Visit Suomenlinna fortress island or try a traditional Finnish sauna.

    
  • Day 3

    Helsinki to Tallinn

    Cross the Gulf of Finland by ferry to Estonia. Book a window seat on the starboard side to see Tallinn's medieval skyline. After lunch in Old Town Square, join a walking tour to see Tall Hermann Tower and St. Olav's Church.

    
  • Day 4

    Tallinn to Riga

    Start with a stop in Estonia's resort town Pärnu before the 4-hour drive to Riga. "The Latvian War Cemetery visit was unexpectedly moving - bring comfortable shoes as it's quite spread out." End your day walking through Riga's UNESCO-listed Old Town.

    
  • Day 5

    Riga to Vilnius

    Visit the Hill of Crosses early at 9 AM before the crowds arrive. Next is Trakai Castle on its lake island. "The castle visit feels rushed - consider staying in Vilnius an extra day to explore it properly." Arrive in Vilnius for dinner.

    
  • Days 6-7

    Gdansk

    Travel through Poland's Masurian Lake District to Gdansk. Spend time at the Museum of the Second World War and European Solidarity Centre. "The Long Market Square comes alive after 5 PM when day-trippers leave - that's the best time for photos and people-watching."

    
  • Days 8-10

    Malbork to Warsaw

    See Malbork Castle on your way to Warsaw. Stop in Toruń for a gingerbread workshop. Use the final two days to explore Warsaw's rebuilt Old Town and WWII sites. "Book the Warsaw+ optional excursion - it takes you to lesser-known spots like the Praga district that you'd miss otherwise."

  • Days 1-2

    Vilnius, Lithuania

    Begin in Lithuania's capital with an Old Town walking tour featuring Vilnius Cathedral and St. Anne's Church among 1,200 medieval buildings. Visit Trakai Castle in the afternoon but get there early to avoid crowds. It's good to have some local currency since smaller shops often prefer cash.

    
  • Days 3-5

    Riga, Latvia

    Drive 4 hours north to Latvia's capital and stop at the Hill of Crosses and Rundale Palace along the way. Plan a full morning for Riga's Art Nouveau district but watch your step on the cobblestones when wet. Take a side trip to coastal Jurmala just 40 minutes away to see wooden architecture and beaches. One visitor noted: "I particularly liked the Jurmala excursion - it shows a completely different side of Latvia."

    
  • Days 6-8

    Tallinn, Estonia

    Continue to Estonia through the resort town of Parnu about 2 hours from Riga. Explore Tallinn's medieval Old Town early before cruise ships arrive. Consider a trip to Lahemaa National Park. One traveler said: "The Lahemaa excursion was a highlight, offering a perfect mix of manor houses and nature."

    
  • Days 8-10

    Helsinki, Finland

    Take a morning ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki for a smoother 2-hour ride. Helsinki brings a different Nordic atmosphere compared to the Baltic cities. Check out the Church-in-the-Rock and take a water bus to Suomenlinna Fortress. Keep in mind that Helsinki costs more than other stops on this trip.
