Destination: Baltic States - Northern Europe
Charis Atlas Heelan has written a travel article on Baltic States which he claims as Northern Europe’s Best Kept Secret.
“Known for its cobblestone streets, long history and stunning gothic architecture, Tallinn is fast becoming the new “it” place for quick weekend getaways from London. A city with a thriving nightclub scene, uber stylish bars and funky restaurants, is young, dynamic and very in fashion right now. This 12th century city by the sea has been designated a UNESCO world heritage site, and for good reason — it is one of the best preserved medieval towns in northern Europe without architectural influences from each of the countries that ruled it through the centuries - Denmark, Sweden, Germany and Russia.”

The article includes offers made by many tour companies that will take you to the capital of all three countries (Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius) providing a great introduction to the region.
