10 Days | Fairy tale towns, rolling countryside and layered cultures
Discover the captivating beauty of the Baltics on a 10-day journey that takes in the region’s charming cities, hearty cuisine and lesser-known treasures. Immerse yourself in the culture and history as you explore medieval fortifications, learn how to cook famous national dishes and soak up the lively atmosphere of the Old Towns. Whether you’re chatting with cider makers, walking in a national park or wandering down cobblestone lanes, there is much to enjoy and plenty of surprises along the way traversing three countries whose national sport is mushroom picking. If you enjoy lesser known destinations, long summer nights and want to do more than just see the sights, this immersive trip is calling your name.
