Warsaw and the Baltic States

In Warsaw, your Local Specialist guides you through rebuilt façades, broad squares and church towers, with tram bells cutting through the air and cafe doors opening onto the street. Across the Lithuanian border, Vilnius unfolds in narrow lanes, pale courtyards, old chapel walls and the grand Gates of Dawn. At Lake Galve, the wooden bridge to Trakai Castle creaks softly as you cross towards red-brick towers rising from the island’s still water. Riga’s Central Market surrounds you with smoke, spice and the rustle of paper parcels inside vast Zeppelin hangars, where traders call out over baskets of fruit, bread and fish.
