From the medieval architecture to the beautiful natural landscapes, the Baltic countries are reminiscent of living in a fairy tale. The Baltic countries are often forgotten by many European travellers, but if you are looking for a journey off the beaten path, the Baltic countries are an excellent option. Featured Sample Itineraries The countries comprising the Baltics may speak different languages and hold different cultural values, but they share a common musical history. These countries have rich choral roots, and continue to produce a number of significant choral composers (including Arvo Pärt) to this day. In fact, Estonia has been nicknamed the “singing nation” due to their cultural celebrations of song and dance.

Band Choir Orchestra Estonian National Museum Tartu This modern building, internationally recognized for its architecture, was completed in 2016. The vision of the architects was to re-use a former military base, a physically present ‘ruin’ of a painful history, giving it a new meaning that inspires hope. The National Museum becomes a continuation of the airfield – its roof lifting and expanding towards ‘infinite space’.
