Baltic States

Baltic countries are traditionally considered to be a favorite recreation center for the Europeans. Neatness and cleanliness of the Baltic resorts, well-developed tourist network, many hotels and spa resorts make recreation in the Baltic useful for body and soul. Most popular Baltic resorts are: Druskininkai (health resort), and also Palanga and Jurmala (the Baltic Sea resorts).

The capitals of the three Baltic states, Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn, are also popular and beloved among the tourists.The name of the region Baltic, which is widely used in Russia and other CIS states, within the Baltic states is interpreted ambiguously. Many Latvians, Lithuanians and Estonians consider it to be a reversion to the communist era. It is also still widely used as a tourist brand that is well-known to «Slavic neighbors»: Ukraine, Belarus and Russia.

Many Lithuanian and Latvian travel agencies, which promote their products to these markets, actively use the word Baltic in their brochures and guidebooks. Recreations in the Baltic, or tours to the Baltic countries, are still associated by many tourists only with these three states: Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

One way or another, tourists are always welcomed here. Baltic countries offer many opportunities for different types of recreation. Baltic can offer you fishing on the Neman, rest on the Baltic Sea, a lot of interesting excursions through the border reserves of Lithuania and Estonian islands, the architectural wealth of Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius, Kaunas and other cities. Over the last decade, the Baltic countries are in steady demand among the British, Germans, Russians and Belarusians. And if the first come here in the first place to occupy numerous bars of the three Baltic capitals, the Belarusian and Russian tourists come here have a rest at the seaside in Neringa, Jurmala, Palanga, and in health resorts of Birstonas and Druskininkai.
