TL;DR<\/strong>This 10-day itinerary runs from Vilnius in Lithuania through Trakai and the Hill of Crosses to Art Nouveau Riga, with a detour to the beaches of J\u016brmala, then on to Estonia\u2019s spa town of P\u00e4rnu, the islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa, medieval Tallinn, Lahemaa National Park and, finally, student-filled Tartu. From the Czech border, the route covers roughly 1,500 kilometres<\/strong> along Via Baltica, where motorways are free for passenger cars. A family of four can complete the entire 10-day road trip in their own car<\/strong> for \u20ac1,800\u20132,500, while a comparable package tour costs a similar amount for just two adults. The best months to go are June, July, August<\/strong> and a warm September, as the islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa are largely closed from November to April.<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Considering a Baltic states road trip<\/strong>? You\u2019ll visit three sovereign countries, cross borders without passport checks, drive on free motorways and cover distances that are manageable enough to see all three capitals and swim in the Baltic Sea in just 10 days. That\u2019s exactly what makes this circuit, which has boomed in popularity in recent years, so appealing. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania<\/strong> offer the perfect mix of untouched northern nature, excellent food and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you start looking at package tours, you may be surprised to find that classic coach circuits often sell out<\/strong> as early as winter. Tour operators also charge substantial sums for a 10-day dash through these three countries, and they often skip Estonia\u2019s most beautiful islands altogether. The good news is that the Baltic states are among the easiest European destinations for independent travel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you set off in your own car from abroad, a family of four can do this 10-day road trip for \u20ac1,800\u20132,500<\/strong>, including everything. The same amount with a tour operator would cover a holiday for just two adults. I\u2019ve put together a carefully tuned itinerary that takes you from Vilnius in Lithuania through Art Nouveau Riga to Estonian bogs and islands where time seems to have stood still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
