Itinerary

Day	Destination	Description
Days 1-2	Helsinki	Walk through Senate Square, into the Russian Orthodox Church and the National Theatre to experience Helsinki's diverse heritage. Marvel at the grandeur of Suomenlinna - an 18th century sea fortress.
Days 3-4	Tallinn	Catch a ferry across the Gulf of Finland to Estonia's charming capital. There's time to see the impressive Kadriorg Palace, designed for Peter the Great, and to explore the quaint Old Town and stately Toompea Castle.
Day 5	Riga	Resting on the shores of the Daugava River, pretty Riga is renowned for its Art Nouveau architecture and welcoming locals. Visit the city's fascinating open-air Ethnology Museum before shopping in the colourful central market.
Days 6-7	Curonian Spit	Home to ancient Pagan beliefs, the Curonian Spit is captivating, with its traditional wooden architecture nestled among the highest drifting sand dunes in Europe.
Days 8-9	Vilnius	Cosmopolitan Vilnius will draw you in with its beautiful Baroque architecture and vibrant arts scene.
Days 10-11	Aukstaitija National Park	Hike and canoe through lush forest to appreciate the natural wonders of this delightful national park.
Days 12-13	Warsaw	The current pace of social change makes Warsaw an exciting place to be. Come to grips with the city's turbulent history on a walk through the Old Town and perhaps experience its rich culture with a trip to a unique puppet theatre.
Days 14-15	Berlin	Soak up the chequered history of this creative and cosmopolitan city. Then look to the future - join locals at a hip-and-happening bar, lounge or club to celebrate the end of this Baltic journey.
