Essential Baltic Capital Cities
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are enhanced by three of the most enchanting capitals in Eastern Europe, and this itinerary provides the perfect introduction to each Baltic country by visiting all three. Although no more than six hours apart, each capital is highly individual in character and boasts an extraordinary wealth of historical buildings and an expanding cultural scene. Sampling the different atmospheres, flavours and customs will provide an invaluable insight into this captivating corner of Europe. This is Regent’s most popular and longest running private tour in the Baltics and can be tailor-made to suit individual requirements.
Our “Essential” holidays are ideal for those who like to explore under their own steam, safe in the knowledge all their accommodation, transfers and travel are taken care of by us.
The itinerary leaves you free to spend the days as you wish, however, we can recommend the must-see sights and book a variety of excursions. A choice of 3, 4 or 5-star hotels is offered in each city and travel is included on local coaches, but private transfers by car can also be arranged, please see our Baltic Capitals Odyssey. If you would like to extend your holiday with stays in Helsinki please ask a Regent Travel Specialist for details.

Reviews
Thank you Jurate for all the arrangements you made for us. Transport worked well and hotels were good, especially the Hotel Justus in Riga (excellent, beautifully developed and decorated). Hotel positions were all excellent.
Once again our special thanks to Jurate. Her help and attention to detail during the Volcanic Ash episode reduced any anxiety to a minimum. We enjoyed our holiday, even though out time in Tallinn had to be cut short. The staff at the Justus Hotel in Riga were particularly helpful and caring.
We have found Jurate's helpfulness and suggestions invaluable. Despite temperatures down to minus 22, we found plenty to do. Our transfer at Riga worked well and hotels were ideally situated. Generally friendly, helpful hotel staff...a holiday to remember and savor.
