Baltic States

I've been there in 2005, 4 days each capital, and I've been in Saint Petersburg twice. Here are my thoguts:

- Vilnius and Tallinn are really beautiful, but 4 days are too much. 2, max 3 days are enough.
- Once in Vilnius, pass in Trakai.
- Riga is boring. 2 days max.
- In Saint Petersburg, spare a day only to Hermitage and another only to Peterhoff.

It depends what you're doing. If you're hiking, or cycling and camping in the countryside that's fine, but if your just visiting the cities it too much unless you add Russia; the capitals of each Baltic country are nice but as the other anon said, two days max. Russia is a hassle to get a visa for; so look into it well in advance.

Thanks. I'm pretty interested in history so they seem like good suggestions.

How does the nightlife compare to other places in Europe?

If you really want to do St. Petersburg, take a cruise from Helsinki to get around the visa hassle. Otherwise skip it.

Estonia is the nicest, but also the most expensive.

Tallinn was dreary af

St. Petersburg is okay, but appears quite cool

Was just in Vilnius. People were friendly, beer was good, everything was dirt cheap. Unfortunately wasn't there for the weekend so I have no idea on the girls in Lithuania.

One odd thing was how depopulated the entire place was, I was walking through old town on a Sunday afternoon and didn't see a soul. Simultaneously cool and creepy
