Our four nights in Riga, Latvia were a blend of history and hustle. We took three essential free walking tours (Old Town, Art Nouveau, Alternative Riga), explored the famous Central Market, and learned about the city’s complex past. Plus, our review of trying to see Ed Sheeran in a crowd of 50,000!
We explore Tallinn's UNESCO Old Town, its intact medieval walls and modern tech. Our itinerary included a fantastic free walking tour (Dannebrog legend, Upper Town), celebrating a birthday with Argentinian asado, and tips for using the Bolt rideshare app. Estonia is a time capsule with Wi-Fi.
Our review of the St. Petersburg visa-free trip from Helsinki! We detail how to handle the tight schedule (57 hours on the ground), the 3-hour immigration lines, a whirlwind tour of the Hermitage and golden domes, a DIY metro tour, and our experience seeing two Russian ballets.
We tackled Helsinki in 72 hours! We share budget tips for cheap SIM cards (€0.89/day unlimited data) and the best €10 buffet lunch spots. Our short itinerary included a free walking tour, the sea fortress of Suomenlinna, and visiting the unique Temppeliaukio Rock Church.
