Train journey Baltic States

Baltic capitals rail tour from Vilnius to Tallinn via Riga

Illustration of Train journey Baltic States

Railtour Suisse operates this rail journey through the Baltic States, linking three capital cities that the operator describes as strikingly different from one another: baroque Vilnius, Hanseatic and Art Nouveau Riga, and medieval Tallinn. The trip starts in Vilnius and ends in Tallinn, with a stop in Riga along the way. A highlight of the route is the only historic narrow-gauge railroad in the Baltic States, carrying travelers through what the operator calls Latvia's unknown east. Along the way, the trip includes a dinner on an organic farm in Latvia, a cable car ride above Gauja National Park, and a boat trip along the Great Dune on the Curonian Lagoon. Travelers who want to combine train travel with a mix of historic cities and rural landscapes, and who are willing to add a national park extension, are the best fit for this itinerary.
