Highlights
The Baltic states are three countries of north-eastern Europe, on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea. The three small countries have a long interesting history, and an impressive cultural heritage dating back to the Hanseatic League. The region's 175,015 km2 are home to 6.3 million people, nearly half of them in Lithuania.
Explore the Baltic coast and the National Parks of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia on very scenic routes. The tour includes the three capital cities – Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn – with their Old towns designated as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO; the Curonian Spit which was previously closed to visitors; nowadays it is often called the Lithuanian Sahara; the beautiful Gauja River valleys and the largest and most beautiful Estonian island of Saaremaa. Travel from Lithuania in the south, through Latvia and on to Estonia in the north; experience a wide variety of towns, villages and countryside for an excellent introduction to the very distinct characters of these quite different countries.

Gastronomy
- Kohuke: A popular little dessert, often made with chocolate-covered cottage cheese, sometimes garnished with fruit or other flavors.
- Verivorst: Blood sausages, often served with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut, very popular at Christmas time.
- Mulgikapsad: A sauerkraut stew with pork, often served with boiled potatoes. This rustic dish is very representative of Estonian cuisine.
- Kiluvõileib: A sandwich on black rye bread, topped with sprats (small smoked fish), butter and sometimes hard-boiled eggs and fresh vegetables.
Wine
- Fruit wines: Because of Estonia's climate, fruit wines are popular. These wines are often made from local berries such as blueberries, lingonberries, raspberries or sloes. For example:
- Blueberry Vino (mustika vein): A light wine made from blueberries, a fruit abundant in Estonia.
- Raspberry wine (vaarika vein): Made from raspberries, often sweet and fragrant.
