1. Tallinn’s Old Town: Let’s Get Lost (In the Best Way)

There’s no better way of exploring Tallinn than by wandering its charming Old Town—one of the top things to do in Tallinn for first-timers! Imagine wandering through cobblestone streets and medieval castles, and ending up in cozy cafés that look like something out of a storybook.

That’s Tallinn’s Old Town—straight-up fairy tale magic! Whether you’re climbing Toompea Hill for a magnificent view or sipping hot chocolate in a medieval-themed tavern, you’ll feel like you’ve time-traveled to another era (minus the plague and sword fights). 😁

2. Riga’s Legendary Nightlife: Where the Party Never Ends

If you think the Baltics are just about history and cute old buildings, think again. Riga’s nightlife is next level. From chic rooftop bars to underground clubs playing everything from techno to live rock, this city knows how to party.

Just don’t be surprised when you suddenly realize it’s 4 AM, and you’re still dancing like there’s no tomorrow.

3. Vilnius Walking Tour: Explore the City’s Storybook Streets

Vilnius might just surprise you. It’s a beautiful mix of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque buildings, cozy alleyways, and vibrant street art. On the optional walking tour, you’ll dive into its rich history—from old town legends to modern resistance stories.

You’ll pass churches older than your country, learn wild local stories, and maybe even spot a hidden angel sculpture or two. It’s not just a walk—it’s a vibe.

4. KGB Prison Tour: A Spine-Chilling Experience

Ever wondered what it was like to live under Soviet rule? At the Museum of Occupations and Freedom Fights in Vilnius, you’ll step inside a real former KGB prison—and it’s intense. The cold cells, the stories of the prisoners, and the dark history held in these walls will give you chills. It’s not just a museum—it’s a place that shows how much Lithuanians went through to fight for their freedom.

The museum is in the same building where the Soviet secret police worked from 1940 to 1991. For Lithuanians, this place is a powerful symbol of the 50 years of occupation they endured. It’s here to remind everyone of the strength, courage, and sacrifices people made to live in a free country today. You’ll walk away with a whole new view of history—and a deeper appreciation for peace and freedom.

5. Hill of Crosses in Lithuania: Where Faith Meets History

Over 100,000 crosses have been placed by people over the centuries as a symbol of faith and defiance. It’s surreal, peaceful, and kind of gives you chills in the best way. Whether you’re religious or not, this place hits different—like standing in the middle of history and hope all at once.

6. Valmiermuiža Beer Tasting: A Flavorful Craft Beer Experience

Valmiermuiža Brewery, situated near the city of Valmiera, was founded in 1764, and is one of the oldest and well-known in Latvia. The beer is produced from the highest quality ingredients, following the principles of slow brewing. Using carefully selected recipes, the brewers create a truly “live” natural beer that every beer enthusiast will enjoy.

We visit the authentic Valmiermuiža Beer Embassy in Riga. During the visit, you will be offered 5 different beer types to taste, combined with light snacks. You will also hear the story of Valmiermuiža and its brews, as well as some interesting facts about the flavours, and tips on how to enjoy beer in the best possible way.

7. Baltic Cuisine: One Bite at a Time!

Let’s be real—traveling is 50% about the food. And the Baltics? FULL of surprises. You’re in for some seriously tasty surprises. This region serves up comfort, curiosity, and a whole lot of character on every plate. Here are just a few of the must-tries:

🍲 Cepelinai – Giant, fluffy potato dumplings lovingly stuffed with seasoned meat in rich sauces. It’s the kind of dish that makes you want to cancel your afternoon plans and take a cozy nap. A Lithuanian classic and total comfort food royalty.

🍞 Rye Bread – Don’t be fooled by its humble name. This dark, dense, slightly sour bread is a Baltic staple—and once you try it fresh, possibly still warm, with a generous swipe of butter or a slice of local cheese? You’ll be dreaming about it for days.

🍶 Black Balsam – Latvia’s notorious herbal liqueur. It’s strong, it’s bold, and it’s not for the faint of heart. Locals swear by it for everything from warming up in winter to curing heartbreak (seriously). Take a shot if you dare—but don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Spoiler alert: You will leave this trip with a new favorite dish. Or drink. Or both. Come hungry, come curious!

8. Lithuanian traditional dinner: A Night of Food, Music & Culture

Join us for an unforgettable Lithuanian evening in a country full of tradition, where you’ll enjoy local food, live music, and dancing!

A delicious three-course meal will be served, featuring authentic Lithuanian dishes made with love—and maybe a few ancient secrets.

Vegetarian options? Absolutely, just give us a heads-up!

Once dinner wraps up, the real fun begins: a live folk band will fill the room with music, and you’ll be invited to sing, dance, and celebrate like a true local. Bring your appetite and dancing spirit—this is Lithuania at its liveliest!

9. Cruising Across the Baltic Sea: A True Explorer

If you’re starting your journey from Helsinki or Stockholm, the adventure begins before you even set foot in the Baltics. This ferry ride isn’t just a way to get from point A to B—it’s your first taste of something special. With the sea breeze in your hair and endless blue on the horizon, you’ll feel the excitement build.

Grab a coffee, chill on the deck, and take in the sea views—this is your first taste of the freedom and fun that the Baltics are all about.
