BALTIC CAPITALS 2006

8 days / 7 nights, Tallinn - Riga - Klaipeda - Vilnius

Guaranteed departures: Sundays, May 21 / June 25 / July 02, 30 / Aug 20

During the long sunlit days of the northern summer, the historic cities along the Baltic Sea come alive with color and vitality. Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius are rich in history, architectural splendors and revitalized culture. Tallinn, an important port from long ago, has become a bridge between East and West. The beautiful Old Town with its medieval architecture and slender church spires is included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. Riga is the capital of the Republic of Latvia, the state's administrative and political center and the largest city in the Baltic States. Often called a “small Paris”, its history is dating back many centuries. Its Old Town, the most ancient part of the city has been preserved from the 13th century. Klapeida, the Old Town by the sea, founded in 1252,  is the third-largest city in Lithuania. As a key port city in the European Union, it is a window to the world of international trade. Vilnius is often called a baroque city, but you will find buildings of gothic and renaissance styles. Main sights are the Gediminas Castle and the Cathedral Square. Because of its uniqueness, the Old Town was inscribed on the Unesco World Heritage List.
