The Baltic Capitals & St. Petersburg

2019

Few regions possess a more turbulent history than the Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. After
countless wars, occupations—even a “singing” revolution—these countries have re-emerged to reveal
their splendor to the world. Because of our small group size, you’ll meet many of the people from the Baltic
countries hear their stories of what life was like during the turbulent times of their recent past. When you
travel to the Baltic capitals in a small group with O.A.T., you’ll also discover the turrets, spires, and winding
cobbled streets of Vilnius, Riga, and Tallinn—three capitals that preserved the timeless elegance of their Old
Towns. And you’ll cast your eyes to Mother Russia for an in-depth discovery of the wonders of St. Petersburg,
the glorious city on the Neva, founded by Peter the Great early in the 18th century as a showcase for Russia’s
imperial might. Travel to the Baltic capitals and take in the rich sweep of history, unique cultures, and natural
beauty of one of Europe’s long-buried treasures.
