Russia, Scandinavia & The Baltic States
As well as a visual adventure encompassing faultless ballet, fine arts, literature and architecture of Rococco grandeur, in St Petersburg you’ll find museums dedicated to Pushkin, chess and vodka! Moscow’s minarets, Kremlin and Red Square are almost eclipsed by the bizarre splendour of the Metro and a KGB History Tour!
Ever since the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania reclaimed their independence from Russia in 1991, curious travellers have been discovering the Nordic heritage of Tallin (Estonia) and Riga (Latvia) and the Polish past of Vilnius (Lithuania).
Scandinavia’s Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland share numerous lakes, forests, mountains and fiords and have found 1001 ways to enjoy them, summer or winter. Highlights include cruising the Baltic or the land of the Midnight Sun, exploring Stockholm “the Venice of the North” and sampling a Scandinavian invention – the sauna!
