Eight countries, three sea crossings and a string of old towns that look like they were drawn for a fairy tale. This 14-day journey through the Baltic States and Scandinavia runs from Copenhagen to Stockholm by way of Berlin, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland. It is planned and supported by IMAD Travel, an IATA-certified travel agency in Hyderabad serving travellers from across India since 2011. It runs as a private tour, so we can arrange this same route, or a similar one, for your family, couple or group, on your own dates and with your choice of hotels.

Who this tour suits
Travellers who have already seen Paris and Switzerland and want something different: medieval walls, amber shops, Baltic beaches and Nordic capitals on the water. Two nights each in Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn give the trip a steady rhythm, and the ferries turn travel days into a small cruise.
Why go
It starts in Copenhagen with the Little Mermaid and the four Rococo palaces of Amalienborg, then a two-hour ferry to Germany and on to Berlin. Poland follows: Poznan, with its colourful merchants’ houses round the Old Market Square, and Warsaw, whose Old Town was rebuilt brick by brick after 1945 and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Then the Baltics, each capital with its own character. Vilnius has one of the largest Baroque old towns in Eastern Europe, with church spires on every skyline. On the way to Latvia you stop at Rundale Palace, a gilded Baroque palace by Rastrelli, architect of St. Petersburg’s Winter Palace. Riga mixes a medieval centre with streets of Art Nouveau façades, and Tallinn‘s walled Old Town, with its towers and red roofs, is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe.
Finally, the Nordic finish: a ferry across the Gulf of Finland to Helsinki, a free day by the harbour, and an overnight cruise through the islands of the Stockholm archipelago to Stockholm, the city built on fourteen islands.
Don’t miss
Sunrise over the Stockholm archipelago from the ferry deck. The view over Tallinn’s red roofs from Toompea hill. Riga’s Central Market, set in old Zeppelin hangars. And the quiet lake setting of Trakai Castle, a short trip from Vilnius.
Good to know
This is a price on request private tour: we quote for your dates, hotel category and group size, using a private driver-guide, trains or a mix of both, with the ferries booked in advance. The route is best from May to September, when the days are long. The whole route is in the Schengen area, so one visa covers it; our visa team can help.
More of the north: the shorter 7 days Baltic tour of Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius, the 12 days Baltic capitals tour from Stockholm, the 13 days classic Scandinavia tour, and all our Denmark tour packages.
