Strong references to the Catholic religion, typical for this region can be seen and sensed in many places but it is best known for the multiple lakes and postcard-like beautiful nature.

Enjoy your time in Lithuania

When it is time to move on, continue driving E262 and shortly you are in Lithuania and driving its local road A6.

First, we recommend visiting Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. One of the must-visit sites is Gediminas' tower of the upper castle representing the nation itself. This iconic landmark is the major symbol of the city of Vilnius. Hundreds of local restaurants provide you with the perfect opportunity to taste local delicacies so use the opportunity and indulge yourself in Lithuanian cuisine.

In 2023, they are celebrating the 700th anniversary of Vilnius. This means this vibrant and easygoing city will offer even more to visitors this summer. Read more destination information: https://www.govilnius.lt/visit-vilnius 

After heading outside Vilnius, choose a road E85 to visit Kaunas, the second biggest city in Lithuania and the former capital of the country. The local must-see place is the medieval fortress. Also, areas around the Nemunas and Neris rivers are very nice places to spend time and relax.

During the busiest tourist months, it might be difficult to find a suitable parking place near the entrance to the castle, so we recommend parking and leaving a motorhome further away and taking a nice walk to feel the local atmosphere. Read more destination information: https://visit.kaunas.lt/en/

After a cultural day, turn your wheels to Klaipeda on A1. Next to Klaipeda starts a very narrow land area, Curorian Spit one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites. This unique, dune builds a lagoon settlement in front of the Russian and Lithuanian coastlines and should include into your list of must-see places. In Lithuania, this area is also called Grobštas Nature Reserve. Read more destination information: https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/994/

The next exciting area to visit would be Riga, the capital of Latvia, and its surroundings. If you do not want to drive with a motorhome to Riga, you can park your motorhome in Jurmala and take a local train to the city center. Jurmala is a popular vacation area in this country and it offers an incredible beach area. This is a region where you can easily spend a few days just relaxing on a beach and at a time visit an urban city to enjoy shopping, nice restaurants, and visit cultural spots.

Riga's architecture derives from the 800-year-old Gothic period, and with its medieval buildings, beautiful Art Nouveau style, and wooden old town, it is a true pearl of architecture. In addition to the beautiful architecture and surroundings, Riga offers a vast selection of things to see and do for active people.

Heading back to Tallinn from the Western regions of Estonia

If you chose road E67 away from Riga, you will drive near the sea coastline. Remember to stop at times to smell and sense the breeze from the Gulf of Riga. 

You might not even notice when you cross the border to Estonia and arrive at Pärnu one of the most popular holiday destinations in Estonia. Pärnu is known for its spa services. But if you are eager for a hike, we suggest considering Soomaa and Matsalu national parks. Read more destination information: https://visitparnu.com/en. 

When you continue your drive from Pärnu, you can either take the shortest route to Tallinn (via E67) or if you have some travel days left, we recommend heading to Saaremaa and or Hiiumaa which are the largest islands of Estonia. Read more destination information on Saaremaa: https://visitsaaremaa.ee/en/ and Hiiumaa: https://www.visitestonia.com/en/where-to-go/islands/hiiumaa-island

Before you drive to back Tallinn, we suggest visiting two more interesting places.

Historical Rummu is a former quarry and is currently covered in water. As this is one the most popular spots to visit shortly also from Tallinn, you might face challenges in finding parking space for a motorhome on the busiest summer month right next to the spot. But be patient. This crystal clear light blue lagoon is worth a short visit. Read more destination information: https://www.visitestonia.com/en/rummu-quarry

Before turning your way to Road 8 to Tallinn, turn your wheels to the left to visit Türisalu. This small village offers you a completely different sea view from the Türisalu limestone cliffs. Most of the coastline has been very low along your journey but now you end up looking down from the edge of 30m high steep slopes.

Note
Busy traffic on E67

This road between Tallinn Estonia and Riga Latvia is always very popular. There are a lot of vehicles, also heavy trucks on the road. On Baltic roads, they might take rather quick and last-minute overtakes by smaller vehicles. With a rental motorhome, remember to stay on the right-hand side of the lane to give enough space for faster overtaking vehicles.
