Cycling routes are mainly flat and make an excellent means of exploring the untouched coastline once you’ve loaded up with fresh supplies at the central market in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Riga.

Tips?

Memorable parts?
Each day was memorable, if I had to choose, perhaps the Curonian Spit cycle.
Tips?
Perhaps take an extra day to see Vilnius and Tallinn at the beginning and end of the holiday.

I thought the bog walk (the one using the bog shoes as opposed to the one on the boardwalks) was a unique and amazing experience. I loved the dune and beach walk. (more)Barbara Bilgre
