TRAVELING WITHIN THE BALTICS


Roads in the Baltic are very high quality and is the recommened way to travel between Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

 
connecting Vilnius with Riga in Latvia and Tallinn in Estonia.

We recommend the Lux Express offered by Eurolines. Many buses operating each day for around 17 Euros from Riga.

Eurolines also offer buses to/from the Riga International Airport.
