SteffBaltic travel expert at TourRadar
10 Days in Baltic States & Finland, incl. Vilnius and Helsinki
Baltic capitals Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn, and Helsinki open their doors in this 10-day tour. Highlights include Trakai Castle, Rundale Palace, medieval Old Towns, and Finnish archipelago. Nine nights in Radisson Blu hotels, buffet breakfasts, and optional excursions to Lahemaa and Gauja National Parks.
- 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.
10 Day Baltic States Itinerary, incl. Helsinki and Warsaw
The Baltic region reveals Helsinki's Senate Square, Tallinn's medieval center, and Riga's Old Town over 10 days. Highlights include Lithuania's Hill of Crosses, Estonia's resort city Pärnu, and Latvia's coastal Saulkrasti, with guided tours in each capital city.
- 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."
10 Days in Baltic States, incl. Vilnius and Helsinki
Four capital cities unfold over 10 days in the Baltics. The tour provides 9 nights in upscale Radisson Blu hotels, visits to Hill of Crosses, Rundale Palace, and optional excursions to Lahemaa National Park. A ferry journey through Finnish archipelago completes the experience.
- Days 1-2
Vilnius, Lithuania
Begin in Lithuania's capital with an Old Town walking tour featuring Vilnius Cathedral and St. Anne's Church among 1,200 medieval buildings. Visit Trakai Castle in the afternoon but get there early to avoid crowds. It's good to have some local currency since smaller shops often prefer cash.
- Days 3-5
Riga, Latvia
Drive 4 hours north to Latvia's capital and stop at the Hill of Crosses and Rundale Palace along the way. Plan a full morning for Riga's Art Nouveau district but watch your step on the cobblestones when wet. Take a side trip to coastal Jurmala just 40 minutes away to see wooden architecture and beaches. One visitor noted: "I particularly liked the Jurmala excursion - it shows a completely different side of Latvia."
- Days 6-8
Tallinn, Estonia
Continue to Estonia through the resort town of Parnu about 2 hours from Riga. Explore Tallinn's medieval Old Town early before cruise ships arrive. Consider a trip to Lahemaa National Park. One traveler said: "The Lahemaa excursion was a highlight, offering a perfect mix of manor houses and nature."
- Days 8-10
Helsinki, Finland
Take a morning ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki for a smoother 2-hour ride. Helsinki brings a different Nordic atmosphere compared to the Baltic cities. Check out the Church-in-the-Rock and take a water bus to Suomenlinna Fortress. Keep in mind that Helsinki costs more than other stops on this trip.

- Capitals Journey of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia & Finland - 10 Days
The first part of the tour, from Vilnius to Riga was good. The tour programme was as marketed and the tour leader was informative. The dinner in Riga was good. Nevertheless, we had a new tour guide in Tallin and she only coverrd a half day programme. For the dinner somebody came and guide us to the Maikravh resto and left us alone to go back to hotel. As the hotel was quite a distance from the old town so we have to look for taxis by our own. The dinner was disappointed, we were the only guest in the keller restaurant and the food was aweful, let aline the way they served the dinner. It was served in a plate in which we had to share.. So it was not worth for the price we paid. The ferry trip was surprising as there was no information in advance about the ferry condition. It was aweful for us who dont have any experiences to take ferry. The programme in Tallinn and Helsinki was not as offered.
- Helsinki to Warsaw
Helsinki to Poland tour by Expat Explore was well organized. However, it is too rushed. Ideal would be to add two more days and spread it out a bit. Lot of walking, therefore very tiring and difficult to keep up with the pace even for the not so old, especially in bad weather conditions. The hotels were very good except for one which was average. Breakfast at hotels were very good. Included lunches and dinners were okay. The optional tours were not fabulous. The tour guide highly recommends them all, but I was disappointed with each of them. On the whole, a good tour but very rushed and tiring.
- Baltics and Scandinavia in 10 Days (Guaranteed Departure)
We really enjoyed our tour of the Baltic States. All of the connections, departures, arrivals, transportation were absolutely flawless. The Tour guides were excellent and the accommodation at the various Radisson Blu Hotels was at least four star. The 'add-on' or side-tours were all very good - except, perhaps, with the exception of the two dinners that we had which we could only rate as average.
