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, which can be found at the bottom of the page.
