Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland & Sweden - 2024
The Baltic countries - a less traveled portion of Europe - called to my client. He usually prefers more active trips (hiking and a bit more strenuous than city tour walks), but he couldn’t pass up an opportunity to see Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, as well as Finland and Sweden. As you can see from some of his pictures below, much of the architecture he saw is similar to what you would expect in formerly communist countries. The Hill of Crosses (above) in Lithuania is one of many unique sites (and sights) he saw in this former communist bloc.
He took a G Adventures tour then continued his trip on in Finland and Sweden for a few days (since he was already all the way over there, might as well). There he traveled solo, enjoying his own pace and getting to see the things that interested him in those countries.
If you’re wanting to explore somewhere a bit more off the beaten path, consider joining a group with a company like G Adventures! I can help you find a great option and manage your booking for you.
