Guests planning their first visit to the Baltics often find it difficult to choose between the many tours and holiday packages available. Our itineraries take you from the Old Town streets of Tallinn and the grandeur of Rund?le Palace to charming seaside towns and the stunning countryside of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, which means the breadth of choice is vast.
The Baltics are an amazing place to visit with a mixture of history, architecture, culture and nature. Regardless of the package you’ll pick, you’ll often have the chance to wander around the Baltic UNESCO World Heritage Sites, preserved city centres, pine forests and sandy beaches.
We’ve put together this guide to help travellers unsure where to start, summarising the highlights and favourite aspects of our three most popular Baltic holidays to showcase how they differ, and what you can expect from a professionally guided tour.
Why Do Visitors Often Choose Multi-Country Baltic Holidays?
Escorted tours that travel across borders give visitors a way to experience multiple destinations in one trip, without the hassle of organising connections, transfers and logistics. The Baltic Travel Company team handles all the arrangements on your behalf, from flights to ferries and hotels, ensuring you can spend your break concentrating on relaxing and sightseeing.
Although every itinerary is unique, many of our Baltic holiday packages include:
- Return flights from the UK
- Local airport transfers
- Hand-picked hotels
- Daily breakfasts with optional dinners
- English-speaking guides
- Comfortable travel between locations
- Selected tickets and entry passes
- ATOL or ABTOT financial protection
The best way to approach your decision-making is to think about what you’d like to prioritise most, from the Baltic Sea coastline to ancient architecture, local culture or wildlife in the national parks. Alternatively, you can give us a call to ask for our personalised recommendations, which we’ll happily provide!
Package 1: Baltic Highlights Tour – Perfect for First-Time Visitors
Guests who are heading to the Baltics and who haven’t been to this part of the world before often find our Baltic Highlights Tour an excellent choice. Over eight days, you’ll discover the capital cities of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, with scheduled guided tours and free time to explore at your own pace.
Walking tours through the cobbled streets of Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn are often a highlight, with guests seeing historic church spires, the bustle of the city centres and medieval old towns.
Along the way, travellers will visit some of the most captivating landmarks in the region, including Rund?le Palace, considered one of Northern Europe’s finest Baroque palaces. Optional excursions can take you to Gauja National Park, the golden beaches of Jurmala, and the drama of Trakai Castle, which is located on an island in Lake Galvé.
While there is so much to see and do, this tour also brings you to some of the must-see spots in the Baltics over just a week, with a carefully designed schedule that never feels rushed.
Package 2: Classical Baltics Tour – Great for Culture, History and Coastlines
Our next package, the Classical Baltics Tour, is ideal if you have a little more time and can spend 10 days and 9 nights exploring the same three countries, adding several destinations that showcase more of the Baltics’ diversity.
Alongside the famous capital cities, visitors travel to Kaunas, Lithuania’s former capital, and enjoy a ferry crossing to the incredible Curonian Spit, before spending time in the gorgeous seaside town of Nida.
This itinerary also includes Liepaja, one of the most-visited coastal destinations in Latvia, where the heritage of the town’s streets contrasts with wide, sandy beaches.
Guests who love nature and spending time outdoors often take the opportunity to visit the Curonian Spit National Park, with its shifting dunes and cool pine forests. Many visitors love the chance to see both cities, coasts and countryside in one holiday.
Package 3: Extended Baltics Tour – A Comprehensive Tour of the Baltics
On to our third and final suggestion: the Extended Baltics Tour is our most in-depth package, designed for travellers who want to immerse themselves in the Baltic States over 11 days and 10 nights.
The journey takes guests from Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius away from the main tourist trail to lesser-known destinations such as Tartu, Daugavpils, Aglona and Aukštaitija National Park.
You’ll see peaceful lakes, ancient forests and rolling hills with traditional rural communities, while learning about the local culture by visiting breweries, ceramics workshops, historic manor houses and, of course, sampling regional dishes.
There is ample time to explore some of the most impressive art collections in this part of the world, including the Mark Rothko Art Centre, as well as stopping off at palaces, fortresses and churches.
By combining vibrant capital cities with quieter destinations, this itinerary showcases both sides of the Baltics, making it ideal for travellers who enjoy exploring and want to experience the major highlights and the hidden gems of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
