Three countries on the shores of the Baltic Sea – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania may be surprisingly contrasting, but all three are united by their common history going back many centuries, and the joint struggle for independence. To fully experience the Baltic flavour, one should visit all three.
Baltic capitals
Each of the Baltic capital cities has a distinct and individual charm.
The capital of Latvia is Riga. Thanks to its multiple extraordinarily beautiful art nouveau buildings, it is considered the European art nouveau metropolis.
Baroque, the most prominent architectural style in the predominantly Catholic Lithuania, is at its utmost in the capital city of Vilnius, whose features are unimaginable without sacred baroque architecture.
And finally the northernmost Estonia offers visitors to experience the spirit of the Medieval Ages, omnipresent in the cobblestone streets and buildings of Tallinn.
