WHAT YOU VISIT
Klaipeda
On the morning of the first day, you'll embark on a panoramic tour of this castle town that was established by the Teutonic Knights in 1250. Klaipeda's Old Town was destroyed by the great fire of 1854 and was rebuilt on a grid layout of narrow streets.

Vilnius
Lithuania's capital dates back to 14th century and its Old Town of impressive mix of Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, medieval and classical buildings have earned it UNESCO World Heritage Site status. Once in Vilnius, you'll set out on a sightseeing tour s past iconic sites like Cathedral Square and the Presidential Palace, then disembark for a stroll in the quaint Old Town. After perusing the markets, stop for lunch and check into your five-star hotel.

Riga
Founded in 1201 on the banks of the Daugava River, Latvia's capital city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its architecture including one of the finest collections of Art Nouveau buildings in Northern Europe. Your day is packed with historical and architectural delights including a guided walk in medieval Old Town. Stroll through courtyards, see 13th century St. Peter's Church, St. John's Church, a part of the restored city wall and Dome Cathedral Square.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
Photos abound throughout this adventure. From Vilnius to Riga, you'll stop for photos at the Hill of the Crosses, a prominent monument where over 100,000 crucifixes and other religions icons cover a hill.

WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Your two days offer surprises around every corner. Vilnius is home to more than 40 churches of different architectural styles in Old Town and the 500-year-old St. Anne's Church is a superb example of Flamboyant Gothic Architecture.
