WHEN TO VISIT THE BALTICS, & WHEN NOT TO
BALTICS HOLIDAY ADVICE
Meet your guide to the Baltics
“On a tour of the Baltics you'll have one guide who covers the whole trip. The guide we had was Lithuanian, she was really good and had a great command of English and knew the details and the history of everywhere we visited. In some cases you might also have local guides who get deeper into the history of certain places, for instance – visits to the Cold War Museum, the Art Nouveau architecture tour in Riga and trips to Rundāle Palace.”

Food & souvenir advice
“The main square in Tallinn is a great place to sit with a verivorsti (blood sausage) hot dog covered in lingonberry jam and a glass of Saku, the local Estonian beer.”

What to expect in Estonia
“The production of peat in Estonia used to be a big industry. However, these days, it is peat bog walking that's better known. Basically, you walk over peat bogs in footwear akin to snow shoes. It's a great activity if you're looking for a unique way to explore Estonia's beautiful national parks.”
Where to go in Latvia
“Jurmala has a nice beach area (left is active; right side, non-active) and an excellent open air concert hall – check who’s playing before you visit. The gardens at Rundāle Palace are exceptional, as are the palace rooms which were featured in the BBC’s adaptation of War and Peace. The Old Town district of Cesis is small but quaint, and the castle grounds have re-enactments during the summer with traditional medieval food, music and dressing up.”
Languages in Lithuania
“If you get lost or you need assistance in Lithuania, ask a younger person for help. The majority speak English as a second language, whereas older Lithuanians tend to favour Russian.”
Tips from our holiday reviews
We have selected some of the most useful Baltics holiday tips that our guests have provided over the years to help you make the very most of your holiday – and the space inside your suitcase.


“Everything was memorable but the Cold War Museum in an abandoned Soviet missile launch site and the Occupation Museum in Riga are two things that made the biggest impression on me. Just do a bit of research on how to use free time in Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius – there is a lot to see. The tour made good use of the available time and took us to places that we never would have seen on our own. Our tour guide Lolita was excellent and our fellow travellers all interesting and pleasant people from three other nations. The total number on the tour was 11, an ideal size for a group tour.” - James Fairbanks


“An average of about 50kms a day, on mainly flat routes, made for easy cycling and should appeal to almost any cyclist who likes a potter, but might frustrate those looking for something more challenging. We found the Baltics, in general, easy countries to enjoy on holiday and things essentially worked really well. Do take mosquito repellent though as although most places are fine, occasionally you really need it.” - Edward Milford
“What made our holiday really memorable was the excellence of our tour guide, Vaida, as well as the standard and quality of the hotels and bikes. The overall organization of the whole trip was terrific.” - Margaret Sheridan
