Baltic States: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania

matsputnik

Sesiapa yang sudah puas meronda negara Eropah yang biasa dikunjungi orang, ada destinasi di sebelah timur yang boleh diterokai -- negara2 Baltik: Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania. Di zaman dulu dikuasai Jerman, Sweden & Russia, kemudian merdeka 1918, tapi dinaungi USSR 1940, sebelum merdeka sekali lagi tahun 1991. Kejatuhan USSR bermula dgn pengisytiharan kemerdekaan oleh Lithuania 1990.

The capitals Talliinn, Riga and Vilnius, all have preserved medieval old towns, designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites. If you want to do a quick tour of the Baltic States, just spend time at these magnificent old towns, just like we did earlier this year.

Let's start with a slideshow of the sights of Old Tallinn. We flew in from St Petersburg (Russia) to Tallinn to start our Baltic tour.

Pls watch in HD 720p if possible.

Assalamualaikum...

terima kasih sebab sudi bukak thread negara yang belum pernah lagi dibuka di bod travel. walaubagaimanapun, adalah lebih elok jika encik sudi berkongsi pengalaman di negara tersebut sbg cth, ape tempat-tempat menarik di sana yang wajib dilawati, makanan halal yang ada, mode of transportation yang available. saya pasti encik banyak pengalaman yang boleh dikongsi instead of just posting a video from your own experience which i guess the rest of us would enjoy it but only a lil bit of info that we can gain.

thank you.

Ni forum ... saya tunggu org tanya/komen. Ada interaktiviti sikit. Kalau tak sesuai, delete saja thread ni, habis citer.

Ahh, thread still around so aku tambah sikit.

How to get to the Baltic States?

The 3 Baltic States are in the Schengen Area, so no visae required for Malaysian passport holders. Over there I prefer to travel with Air Baltic (LCC, based in Riga, Latvia) with connections to most western European cities. Or you may opt to go to Helsinki and take a boat across the Baltic Sea to Tallinn (all Schengen Area). Within the Baltic States, train is an option, but air travel is also quite affordable if booked in advance.

Anyway, if you go to the Baltics, it's a pity if you do not visit St Petersburg in Russia, which is just an hour away by plane from Tallinn. But then you need a Russian visa, which is expensive and involves a lot of hassle. I hear Russia might abolish visa requirement for Malaysians soon, so you might want to wait for that before visiting Russia.

1. The UNESCO World Heritage Sites are major attractions -- see http://www.visiteurope.com/Discover/Where-To-Go/Baltic-States/UNESCO-Sites-Baltic-States

2. Get to a major European city, then connect with Air Baltic. Or via boat from Helsinki. Or via plane/train from St Petersburg, Russia.

dah lupa brape kali dah gi ke tallinn ni. trip kali ni bawak anak sedara yg dtg visit. naik kapal cruise dari helsinki dlm 2jam dah sampai. dari port bleh jalan kaki je ke Old town. Old town dia agak besar so mmg puas la menapak. pastu ada byk alley, tak terexplore sumenya.

weols gi day trip je kali ni. yg best nya barang2 dia lebih murah compare dgn kat helsinki termasuk la brg makanan.
