Essence of the Baltics Winter Charm

Once you land in the dreamy capital of Estonia, Tallinn, we’ll escort you to your hotel. A warm welcome awaits, followed by a relaxed day to shake off the travel and absorb the city’s rhythm. Unwind or wander through cobbled streets at your own pace.

 Check hotel information boards for tomorrow’s schedule before heading out. There’s a calm in the air here, quiet yet stirring.

 After a cosy dinner nearby, we return to your hotel and let the stillness lull you into rest.

With a hearty breakfast in you, we begin a panoramic tour of Tallinn’s fairytale old town. Gothic towers, pastel houses, and medieval walls whisper stories of centuries past.

 Lunch is your own adventure, perhaps try some Baltic-style street fare? The rest of the afternoon is free to explore artisan corners or the shimmering coastline. Discover hidden bookshops or pause at seaside cafés.

 After dinner tonight, return to your hotel and unwind under Tallinn’s quiet skies.

Following breakfast, we depart Tallinn and drive south to Parnu, Estonia’s charming beach town.

 After a seaside stroll and a relaxed lunch en route, we cross into Latvia. Explore the striking red-brick Turaida Castle, entry included, nestled in Gauja National Park. Later, visit the tranquil town of Sigulda and the moving Salaspils Memorial.

Evening brings us into Riga, Latvia’s buzzing capital. Enjoy dinner before we retire for the night at your hotel in the city.

Post breakfast, we begin a panoramic city tour of Riga, Latvia’s capital bursting with flair. Gothic cathedrals and sweeping Art Nouveau façades set the tone.

 Find a café, grab lunch, and watch the city flow around you. The old town, alive with street music and markets, invites discovery. Afternoon is yours to cruise the Daugava or browse Central Market’s treasures.

 After dinner this evening, we return you to your hotel to recharge amidst Riga’s quiet glow.

Once breakfast is done, we say goodbye to Riga and head for Lithuania’s wonders. We first visit Rundale Palace, a Baroque masterpiece designed by Rastrelli.

After lunch on the road, we pause at the haunting Hill of Crosses, thousands of wishes in wood and iron. Then onward to Trakai, home to a 14th-century island castle floating in a lake. Based on daylight, we may shift Trakai to tomorrow.

 After dinner, we settle in for the night at our Vilnius hotel.

The morning starts bright with breakfast, followed by a city tour of Vilnius. With seven hills and hundreds of churches, the Lithuanian capital truly stuns. Explore castle views, cathedral domes and winding lanes soaked in history. After your midday explorations or lunch at leisure, delve into art galleries or souvenir streets. Whether it's a quiet coffee or a scenic climb, the choice is yours. Dinner closes the day before we return to your hotel for a restful night.

Start your final day with breakfast and some last moments in Vilnius before we drive you to the airport. Bid adieu to centuries-old streets and skies that hold stories in their stillness.

 Reflect on cross-marked hills, fairytale castles and soulful cities. The Baltics may be tiny in size, but immense in spirit. As your journey closes, its calm will stay with you long after.

 After a peaceful morning, we transfer you to the airport for your onward flight. Great journeys never end. They aspire to inspire the next. Until next time. Expertly yours.
