BALTIC REGION HIGHLIGHTS

"Old Town Vilnius". VILNIUS, LITHUANIA. Vilnius takes our award for favorite Baltic capital because of its old town size, its comfortable lived-in charm, and an un-matched hospitality. Tallin (Estonia) was noteworthy for its beautiful Baltic Sea location and exceptional town square while Riga (Latvia) got our vote for the most beautiful skyline.  

"The Center of Europe"EUROPAS PARKAS, LITHUANIA. Brainchild of Lithuanian sculptor Gintaras Karosas, a brilliant monument to continent's geographic midpoint.

"Visit to a Medieval Castle Town"TRAKAI, LITHUANIA. A charming island castle and rare glimpse at a unique ethic minority.

"Daytrip Across the Baltic Sea"HELSINIKI, FINLAND. A whirlwind tour of the Finnish capital.
