We will spend a few wonderful days in the cities of Vilnius (Lithuania) and Riga (Latvia). However, we will also leave the cities to explore the beautiful nature surrounding the cities and relax there. This tour is a mixture of city trip and nature experience! You can read about the individual activities in the tour details. As a group, we will spend a lot of time together and also go out to eat together. Nevertheless, there will still be time to pursue individual interests. For example, there are numerous museums and other sights in both cities. Furthermore, the nightlife offers a lot, whether dancing or cocktail bars, everything can be found. The actual price depends on the number of participants and the desired accommodation. We can clarify more details bilaterally. In view of Corona, I will only make the corresponding bookings at relatively short notice. As things stand at the moment, however, it is very likely that the trip will take place. Briefly about me: I generally travel a lot and often like to travel with a group. Hiking is one of my hobbies, also because I simply enjoy spending time in nature. If you have any questions, please send me a message!
