Private Full-Day Van & English-Speaking Guide - Gdansk

Lithuania is at the center of Europe, both geographically and historically. Bordered by the Baltic Sea, Russia, Poland, Latvia and Belarus, is has been an essential destination for trade over the centuries. Today, Lithuania, and especially the town of Klaipeda, is an ideal destination for anyone wanting to indulge in a pleasant getaway. Klaipeda dates to 1252, the year that saw the construction of the castle of Memelburg at the mouth of the Dane River. Local museums, old cobbled streets and beautiful churches bring to life the city`s storied past and surely will keep the city vibrant and bustling in the years to come.

Put yourself in a fairytale as soon as you walk through the medieval walls of Tallinn`s Old Town where you can dine and shop in the center square or see panoramic views by climbing St Olaf`s Church. Leave the Old Town and go to the historic Kadriorg Palace erected by Tsar Peter the Great.

Receiving your equipment and instructions at the pier, set off to Kadriorg Park, the green heart of Tallinn, home to a Baroque palace and park ensemble founded in 1718 as the summer estate for the family of Peter the Great.&nbsp; Pedal through the greenery and pause to appreciate the palace&rsquo;s grandeur before continuing to the seaside district of Pirita and the Song Festival Amphitheatre. As host to the famous Estonian song festivals, the venue welcomes approximately 20,000 performers who sing to crowds more than 100,000 once every five years. It is a truly iconic spot - the 1988 Singing Revolution took place here and set Estonia on its road to independence. The Song Festival Ground has also hosted a number of popular artists, including Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Lady Gaga and Andrea Bocelli.&nbsp; Following a photo stop, pedal to the Memorial to the victims of communism. This 30 000 square meter memorial was opened in 2018 and has become a true landmark. The names of over 22,000 people who never returned home are inscribed on huge memorial&rsquo;s name plaques. Enjoy refreshments in a local restaurant. Next, pedal through a typical neighbourhood, passing St. Bridget&rsquo;s Convent, the Olympic yachting center from 1980 and Pirita Beach en route. Finally, make a stop at the beautiful Pirita beach and glance at the former Olympic Center. Start pedalling back to the city centre along the coastline with a panoramic view on Tallinn&rsquo;s Old Town. &nbsp;

Cycling in Kadriorg Park and a view to Kadriorg Palace, visit the Memorial to the Victims of Communism, panoramic views to Tallinn&#39;s old town &nbsp;

Seaside Cycling

Tallinn is a city that exudes old-world charm and medieval allure. Its cobbled streets and well-preserved architecture transport you back in time to a bygone era. As the capital of Estonia, it is a rare gem by the Gulf of Finland, offering visitors a glimpse into the region&#39;s rich cultural history. The city&#39;s medieval old town is a marvel to behold. Once a thriving Hanseatic town, it was dominated by the Germans, Swedes, and Russians for long periods in history. Despite its eclectic past, the Old Town has been remarkably well-preserved and recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. A visit to Tallinn&#39;s Lower Old Town is a must for anyone wanting to explore the city&#39;s rich history. Pass by the Great Guild House, House of Brotherhood of the Blackheads, and the Church of the Holy Spirit on your stroll through the medieval streets. The Gothic Town Hall and charming 15th-century apothecary are just some of the highlights you&#39;ll see during your visit. The Town Hall Square, located in the heart of Tallinn Lower Town, is an excellent spot to soak up the city&#39;s ambiance. The Town Hall itself was awarded the EUROPA NOSTRA 2nd prize for the revival of the last surviving Gothic Town Hall in Northern Europe, making it a must-visit for architecture enthusiasts. After your walk in the Lower Town, take a break and be entertained. Enjoy refreshments and a glass of wine with a romantic cabaret show in a cafe near the Town Hall Square. The Romantic Scheeli Restaurant is another gem in Tallinn&#39;s old town. Built in the 1920s it is like taking a journey back in time to the era of elegance, sophistication, and refinement. The restaurant was named after the Scheel family, who kept a banking office in the building. Its elegant and graceful interior will take you back in time to the golden age of femininity. After the performance in the cafe, rejoin the bus and take a short drive back to the cruise port. Tallinn is a city that will stay with you long after you&#39;ve left, leaving you with memories of its rich cultural heritage, stunning architecture, and warm hospitality. &nbsp;

Take a walking tour in Tallin Old Town, culminating with refreshments and cabaret show in the Romantic Scheeli Restaurant, another gem in Tallinn&#39;s old town.
