• Estonia

  Estonia is the northern Baltic republic: a walled merchant town in Tallinn, a university city in Tartu, a long sandy resort at Pärnu, and the border castle at Narva. The currency is the euro. Estonian is the language, close to Finnish and not to Latvian.

• Germany

  Germany sits just west of Poland, and these four cities are the ones most travellers pair with a Baltic trip: Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, and Cologne. The currency is the euro. German is the language, with English common in the centre of each city.

• Latvia

  Latvia stretches from the Art Nouveau streets of Riga to the beach resort of Jūrmala, the fortress city of Daugavpils, and the windy port of Liepāja. The currency is the euro. Latvian is the official language, with Russian widely heard in the east.

• Lithuania

  Lithuania is the southern Baltic state: baroque Vilnius, a modernist interwar capital in Kaunas, a port on the Curonian Lagoon, and the Hill of Crosses north of Šiauliai. The currency is the euro, and Lithuanian is the language on street signs.

• Poland

  Poland is the large neighbour south of the Baltics. This guide stays with four cities: rebuilt Warsaw, royal Kraków, the Hanseatic port of Gdańsk, and the textile city of Łódź. The currency is the złoty, not the euro. Polish is the language on every sign.
