Baltic Itinerary Check June/July 2018
Dear /r/solotravel,
28/M looking for any advice, critique, or general comments on the last few weeks of a planned trip in late June/July 2018. The aim is to get from Kaliningrad through the Baltics to St. Petersburg in nine days. I realise this is short and not that ideal but it is unfortunately all the time available. Interests include: local cuisine, tasty beer, football, nature, architecture, and meeting people. Also I know it may seem a little early to be planning this trip but it is the start of summer and with the World Cup in nearby Russia means some of these places will be filling up quickly.
I will also include the hostel I am looking at if anyone has any hostel advice.
Proposed Itinerary:
June 29th - Bus/Train to Vilnius (1 night - Pogo Hostel)
June 30th - Bus to Riga (3 nights - Naughty Squirrel Hostel)
July 3rd - Bus to Tartu (2 nights - Hektor Hostel)
July 5th - Bus to Tallinn (3 nights - Knight House)
July 8th - Bus/Train to Saint Petersburg (4 nights - Soul Kitchen)
July 12th - Flight to Düsseldorf and a train home
- This is not much time in Lithuania but I plan to visit Klaipeda, Nida, and Kaunas a few weeks earlier on the way to Kaliningrad (and can go to Vilnius in this time if anyone highly recommends).
- Was stuck deciding between Tartu or Parnu if anyone has any feelings about these places?
- Want to go to Jūrmala (40 min) from Riga one day (originally thought Ventspils or Liepaja but not enough time).
- Also plan to spend a day from Tallinn to see some of Lahemaa NP.
Is this feasible? Anything you would change? Are any of the times in each place too short or long? Anyone strongly feel I should spend a whole week in one place instead? Usually I don't like travelling this fast but sadly I can't leave Kaliningrad any earlier and ideally want to be in Saint Petersburg by the 8th.
I have never been to this part of Europe (the closest I've been is Poland or Sweden).
All travel will be hopefully done by bus (ecolines, eurolines, luxexpress apart from maybe a train or two).
Thank you in advance :)
