Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn: three capitals, and yes, there's a train

Some guides still say there's no train between the Baltic capitals. There is 🚆 Vilnius is my favourite of the three, and the one people give the least time to. 📍 Vilnius, 3 nights: the baroque old town, Cathedral Square and a day trip to Trakai's island castle, about 30 minutes away 🚆 Vilnius to Riga: a direct train every day since December 2023, about 4.5 hours 📍 Riga, 2 nights: the old town and the Dome Cathedral tower 🚆 Riga to Tallinn: by train with a change at Valga, or by bus 📍 Tallinn, 3 nights: the city walls and the upper town on Toompea Buses are still handy, and Lux Express gives up to 26% off for under-26s and up to 10% for over-60s. Rail Baltica, the fast line between the three, is targeted for 2030 and likely to slip, so don't wait for it. In winter, Tallinn's Christmas market fills Town Hall Square from 20 November to 6 January, 10:00 to 20:00. 👉 Swipe for the route and each city. Save this for your trip and send it to who you'd go with. Which capital would you give the most nights? 👇 📷 Rasmus Andersen, Oskaras Verbickas, Tadas Petrokas, Sarunas Gedvilas, Victor Malyushev, Martti Salmi, Uniq Trek, Dmitry Sumin / Unsplash
