Riga and Vilnius – Our last two cities in the Baltics. We arrived in Riga, Latvia on the bus and walked the 0.7 kilometers to our Hostel. We chose the hostel because of its location in the middle of old town. The room was okay but the location was perfect only about 3 blocks form the main square. Riga’s old town is alive with activity. Many restaurants have a stage for singers to perform. It was great after a long day of walking on the cobblestones to sit and listen to music and have a cold one.
On the final day in Riga we took a river boat cruise which allowed a different glimpse of the city.
Our next stop was Vilnius, Lithuania. We stayed 3 nights in a brand new (nobody has ever slept there) flat right outside the old city walls. The city, similar to Tallinn and Riga, has an amazing old town. We walked the streets and took in the sights of the beautiful churches, castle and great architecture.
We have enjoyed our time in the Baltics, but we have other adventures ahead of us. We are now on a LONG bus ride to Warsaw, Poland and then off to Krakow.
