Warsaw & The Baltic States

Classic Group



Tour Description:

Set out on an all-encompassing adventure of the Baltic capitals—journeying from Warsaw to Riga and on to Tallinn. Join a Local Expert in the Polish capital for an insider’s take on the city’s sights before hopping the Lithuanian border to Vilnius. After exploring the Old Town and the Gates of Dawn, the Gothic Trakai Castle beckons—an island fortress and architectural masterpiece on Lake Galve, that can only be accessed by wooden footbridge. Get to grips with Latvia as you barter with local stallholders at Riga’s Central Market—located in the massive aircraft hangers that once housed Zeppelins. Across the border in Tallinn, take your pick with the Insight Choice of a town hall square walking tour or a stroll through the Old Town to discover Estonian artisans.
