Morning light finds the coach pulling out of Riga, the city’s Art Nouveau façades sliding past as the Baltic coast and pine forests come into view. Over eleven days the itinerary alternates bright, walkable capitals with quiet, wild edges: seaside Pärnu, Lahemaa’s manor-dotted forests, Aukštaitija’s mirror lakes and Jurmala’s long dunes. The rhythm is deliberate — museum mornings, country walks, manor-house evenings — so travelers feel both the cities’ layered histories and the steady patience of northern landscapes.
