Day 2 - Arrive Helsinki
Welcome to Helsinki, the sparkling gem that sits proudly on the shores of the Gulf of Finland, nestled between Stockholm, Tallinn, and Saint Petersburg. This stylish city earned the title of the World Design Capital in 2012, luring in trendsetters and explorers alike. Thanks to the visionary architect Carl Ludvig Engel, Helsinki boasts a jaw-dropping neoclassical city centre with the magnificent Senate Square stealing the show. But that's not all. This city is a feast for the eyes, flaunting a fabulous mix of architectural styles from neoclassical elegance to whimsical Art Nouveau, all the way to sleek modern functionalism. We don’t want you to miss out on any aspect of your small group tour. To ensure that you don’t, we recommend you arrive at your hotel by 5.00pm. You will meet your fellow travellers and Tour Director this evening for a welcome drink at the hotel.

First up, marvel at the magnificent Senate Square, a grand stage for Helsinki’s neoclassical wonders.

Our journey continues as we admire the sleek, modern lines of Finlandia Hall, stroll through the verdant tranquillity of Sibelius Park & Monument, and uncover the mysterious allure of the Underground Temple.

Enjoy some free time to wander, explore, and indulge in a leisurely lunch, discovering the local flavours. Later in the evening, we'll reconvene for a group welcome dinner at a local restaurant.
Day 4 - Helsinki
This morning we board a ferry to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Suomenlinna. Set on a cluster of islands connected by bridges, it was a maritime fortress and base for the Archipelago Fleet built in the 1700s by Sweden and known at the time as Viapori. It was then under the rule of the Russian Imperial Government in the 1800s. In 1917 Finland gained independence from Russia and in 1918 they renamed the site Suomenlinna, or ‘Castle of Finland’, to reflect their new independence. As one of Finland’s most beloved attractions, it's a must-see! After soaking up the history and picturesque views, we ferry back to Helsinki. The afternoon is your blank canvas — paint it with your own adventure! Dive into Finnish culture by unwinding in one of the city’s thousands of saunas, a sanctuary of warmth and relaxation.

We’ll wrap up our tour with a pleasant stroll along the bustling shopping street, leaving the evening free for you to create your own Tallinn memories. Enjoy every moment of it!

It's more than just stone and mortar; it’s a fascinating part of the museum reserve that invites exploration and wonder. Special Experience Visit the once top secret Ligatne Soviet Bunker, concealed 9 metres beneath the surface. Declassified in 2003, the bunker was constructed in the 1980s for the political elite who would govern the state in the event of a nuclear war. Its 2,000 square metres of space was intended to accommodate up to 250 people. The bunker had direct communication lines with the Kremlin and was self-sustaining, able to produce its own electricity and filter oxygen and water. This evening, we arrive in Riga, the vibrant heartbeat of the Baltics! Despite a history of wars, regime changes, and economic shifts, Riga pulses with energy and charm. This dynamic city attracts visitors with its colourful old town and rich history, but what really is the draw card is its electrifying nightlife — one of Europe's most popular!

Their artistic magic still graces the interiors to this day. Get ready to be wowed by this regal gem of northern Europe! Special Experience Receive a Rococo-style welcome at Rundāle Palace, including a tour through the opulent apartments, before enjoying a short baroque music concert. As we journey south, we'll pause to explore the remarkable Hill of Crosses, a sacred pilgrimage site shrouded in mystery. No one knows for certain how the tradition of placing crosses here began, but it's believed to honour the lives lost during the Eastern European and Russian Empire uprisings during the 1800s. Even during Soviet times, when authorities repeatedly removed them, the crosses would miraculously reappear overnight. Today, this powerful site embodies the resilience, hope, devotion, and unwavering faith of the Lithuanian people. It’s hard not to be moved by this profound symbol of endurance.

Throughout its long history, the university faced various challenges, including an 80-year closure following the November Uprising and periods of occupation by Soviet and German forces.

It’s time to bid farewell to Lithuania and cross the border into Poland. Nestled in the heart of Europe, Poland has played the dual role of being a connecting link and a historical battleground between Eastern and Western Europe. Our first stop is the picturesque village of Wigry to visit the former Camaldolese Monastery. This historic gem was crafted by the Camaldolese monks on a peninsula of Lake Wigry in the 1600s.

The forest is teeming with wildlife, particularly the mighty European bison, which were saved from extinction and now roam freely in this dense biosphere reserve.

Upon our arrival, we will embark on a tour of the city's highlights. At its heart is the historic Old Town Square which is surrounded by a series of public parks called 'The Planty'.

Stepping into Klezmer-hois is like travelling back in time to the pre-war days when Kazimierz, the Jewish quarter, was vibrant and full of life.

Day 19 - Český Krumlov – Prague
Our day starts with exploring the UNESCO World Heritage-listed town of Český Krumlov. Prepare to be whisked away into a world like no other as we explore the town’s awe-inspiring castle complex. Perched majestically above the town, this castle's construction started way back in the late 13th century, setting the stage for the town to flourish around it. Český Krumlov soon gained fame as a bustling stop along the Vltava River, nestled perfectly along vital trade routes in Bohemia. As we wander the cobblestone streets, we'll be surrounded by rolling hills and over 300 protected medieval buildings, each one a piece of living history. In 1253 AD the Český Krumlov Castle was completed as the residence of the Lords of the Krumlov (members of the Rosenburg family for over 300 years). Throughout the next few hundred years many Emperors, Lords and Dukes added to the castle which gives it its charm today. Special Experience Enjoy a tea or coffee in the Český Krumlov Castle Tower, a great location to sit back and take in the historic surroundings. Our journey takes us north to Prague this evening, a city often hailed as the most beautiful in Europe. And we concur!

We explore Hradčany, the castle district of Prague and visit Prague Castle, the largest castle complex in the world. Dating back to the 9th century, the castle is where kings of Bohemia, Holy Emperors and presidents of Czechoslovakia have had their offices. Prague Castle is also where the Crown Jewels of the Czechia are housed and where we’ll see the world-famous Saint Vitus Cathedral. While in the castle complex, we also visit the Golden Lane, a small street of 11 historic houses that date back to the 15th century. Each house is painted in a different colour to represent their origin and showcases weapons, armoury, and textiles. Once we've uncovered the castle's mysteries, we’ll cross the river into the Jewish Quarter and continue to the ever-bustling Old Town Square, home to the Astronomical Clock and imposing Gothic Church of Our Lady before Týn.
