Welcome to your complete guide to a trip through the Baltic states. These three countries nestled on the eastern side of the Baltic Sea offer a fantastic value and rich history for those willing to get away from the more traditional countries in Europe. From this all-encompassing guide, you'll get to know each city and what to expect from a trip through the Baltics, with tips on how to navigate the region. In order to cut down on the length of this guide, as it already includes nearly 300 items, some places of lesser importance have been left off this list, but are listed on the Google Maps version for each city. A lot of work went into this guide. I leave my travel knowledge open for all, so if you find this guide useful I do ask that you leave a tip. Feel free to reach out with any questions! thomas.abroadandco@gmail.com

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. Let this be your complete guide to both the Helsinki & Tallinn Christmas markets. Part of the guide "The Best Christmas Markets in Europe", which can be found at the bottom of this guide. Here's what you'll see and what you need to try when visiting the cities of Helsinki & Tallinn during the Christmas season.

Welcome to Tallinn! The capital of Estonia (and my home town) is a hidden gem, just a 2 hours ferry ride away from Helsinki. Tallinn has something for everyone, starting from a rich history with a UNESCO heritage site Old Town to a bohemian atmosphere in Telliskivi Creative City. Here you will find a 2-3 day itinerary, depending on how many days you want to spend in Tallinn. You can find options for every taste, as a local I will cover all that Tallinn has to offer. Also, add some hidden gems! 😉 Let's go! Or in Estonian: "Lähme!"
