  • 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

    Book your hotel in Vilnius's UNESCO-listed Old Town historic center. Previous guests regularly mention the quality, with one noting "Hotels were great, breakfasts were phenomenal." The Old Town features 48 churches including the stunning Gothic St. Anne's. Take an afternoon trip to Trakai Castle about 45 minutes away. Visit in the morning to beat the tour buses to this picturesque medieval castle on a lake island.

    
  • Days 3-4

    Riga, Latvia

    The drive to Riga takes 4-5 hours with worthwhile stops at the Hill of Crosses and Rundale Palace. Stay near the Art Nouveau district for the best experience. Take the Old Town walking tour and make time for the Central Market in converted Zeppelin hangars. A recent visitor commented, "The tour programme was as marketed and the tour leader was informative."

    
  • Day 5

    Gauja National Park & Sigulda

    This natural treasure is just 1.5 hours from Riga. Visit Turaida Castle for spectacular valley views but pack good walking shoes since trails can get slippery. Back in Riga catch an evening organ concert at the Dome Cathedral.

    
  • Days 6-7

    Tallinn, Estonia

    Take the coastal route to Estonia with a stop in the resort town of Parnu. Tallinn's Old Town looks straight out of a storybook. Book accommodation near the historic center and explore Toompea Hill early before the crowds appear. Skip the tourist restaurants and try authentic Estonian food in the Kalamaja neighborhood.

    
  • Days 8-10

    Helsinki, Finland

    The 2-hour ferry to Helsinki offers beautiful archipelago views from the right side. Take motion sickness medication in winter when waters can be rough. Explore the design district's shops and visit the unique Temppeliaukio Church built into solid rock. The Suomenlinna sea fortress is worth the 15-minute ferry ride but arrive early to avoid cruise ship crowds.
