Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania
A land of crumbling castles, soaring dunes, enchanting forests and shimmering lakes a trip to the Baltics proves that fairy tales do come true.
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are tiny. Yet in this wonderfully compact space there are three distinct cultures with different languages, traditions and temperaments. Take, for example, the three unique yet equally compelling capitals: flamboyantly baroque Vilnius, chic art-nouveau Rga and majestically medieval Tallinn. Or explore their traditional and contemporary art scenes from the carving of crosses in Lithuania to the latest gallery installations across the Baltics. When it comes to cultural mileage, the Baltic is a fuel-efficient destination.
For all their differences, the Baltic States suffered the slings and arrows of 20th-century misfortune together. And when the time came, they answered the to be or not to be question hand in hand, singing loudly in the affirmative. Visitors will encounter many heartbreaking and horrifying reminders of the Nazi and Soviet occupations, including numerous war relics, mass-grave memorials and excellent social-history museums. Meantime, distinctive Stalinist architecture and striking socialist-realist art continue to fascinate. And doesnt everyone love a happy ending?
Endless sandy beaches, a multitude of lakes, large tracts of forest and wildlife-rich wetlands: the Baltic States may be flat, but they dont lack natural appeal. Best of all, the relatively low population density means theres plenty to go around. Many of Europes large mammals linger in quiet corners, although the wolves, bears, elks and lynx know better than to mug for tourist snapshots. Youre more likely to see white storks in their bathtub-sized nests balanced on lamp posts or the odd startled deer scampering along the roadside.
From Tallinns storybook turrets to the ghostly ruins of Latvias Ludza Castle, romantic adults and spellbound children will find plenty of intrigue in this ancient and alluring landscape. Folk tales abound of holy lakes, magic springs and the witches and goblins that inhabit the darkest forests and most treacherous bogs. This was the last corner of Europe to be Christianised, and even now, in out-of-the-way places, you may stumble across ribbons tied to trees in sacred groves and coins deposited on mysterious offertory stones. Suspend disbelief and let your imagination take flight.
By Anna Kaminski, Writer
When I was growing up in the Soviet Union, the Baltics were still part of the Motherland, and theyre intertwined in my mind with my own familys experiences: my grandparents; sunbathing on a beach in Prnu; my mother hiking in Ignalinas forests. As an adult, I came to know the Baltics more intimately and to fully appreciate their centuries-old architecture, the cobbled lanes of the capitals and the detritus of communism, stripped of its former power. Plus, the fizz of
