My #4 Attraction with Copenhagen Card Church of Our Savior in Copenhagen (Vor Frelsers Kirke), completed in 1752, is a unique church that you won’t forget when you see it. I chose it over The Round Tower (Rundetaarn) because you get to...
My #2 Attraction with Copenhagen Card I think it’s important to understand God’s elected people. God certainly didn’t forget them. So, if you have 50DKK or a Copenhagen Card, this museum is very close to Christiansborg...
My #1 Attraction with Copenhagen Card Hey Christian! Hey Frederick! Guess what, you just called the names of 19 Danish kings. The royal family name their children after their grandfather. So you have Christian -> Frederick -> Christian ...
It wasn’t difficult to find a couchsurfing host in the Latvia and Lithuania. I had a host in Riga, Vilnius and Siaulial, and they all confirmed availability to host my family (4 people!) in a day or two. That’s just amazing! I truly think it’s an...
If you come to Latvia for a few days, I think Jurmala would be a nice place to hang out. There are many resorts and clinics in this area. And I can see why! It’s only 1 hour away from Riga, and the beach is very flat.
My opinion might be different than yours. But I was not particularly happy with my experience at Cesis castle. The castle was being renovated when I went, and it wasn’t mentioned on the website or at the counter (just like when the...
Riga Old Town is very beautiful. Quieter than I thought. I didn’t see the stags as Amateur Traveler described.
This is when we went in the morning.
It’s hard to explain why I decided to go to Latvian Ethnographic Open Air Museum. Probably because I have not been to any.
We were confused by the parking systems in Riga. It’s very difficult to find a parking place near the old town. There was a underground parking, but very expensive. And I am writing this so that you’ll know there will be different types...
What do you have in mind when you hear about Rundale Palace? This is what I thought- what a hidden gem! I was blown away by the pictures I saw on the internet. The architecture looks amazing and people who had been there said it was like...
If you have a car while you are in Riga, don’t miss out on Lido. This beautiful restaurant is a bit out of your way… but it’s very popular to the locals.
I thought this would be an expensive restaurant, and so when I saw it for the first time I didn’t bother to look at the price. But then my brother saw their coupon, and it was unbelievably affordable! So from the coupon we had a great lunch...
Before coming to Latvia, my couchsurfing host in Riga exchanged a few emails to me. She also suggested me to visit Kemeri National Park, which I absolutely loved. And she also suggested me to watch an opera or some concert, as it’s a part of...
One thing that left an impression to me about Riga was this bizarre style of art. I saw stood out from was this crazy art. I like architecture in general, although I know little about the terms or styles. From my understanding, Art...
Is renting a car necessary to travel in the Baltics? Is it easy to drive in the Baltic? Well, suppose you have an answer to both the questions, let me recommend you this car rental company- Green Motion. Why do I recommend it? Well, it was the...
Well, this is not really a tourist attraction, but I still want to talk about this place.
As a budget backpacker, you cannot miss this cheap dining place at one of the most beautiful old town in the world. At the center of the Old Town of Tallinn, you’d find a square where the Town Hall is situated. In this picture, you can see a...
Old Hansa? This name sounds so familiar, doesn’t it?
It’s now a medieval restaurant, and the building was actually used as a merchant house during Hanseatic League.
It’s pretty cool actually!
Before going to Tallinn, the immigration officer in Helsinki told me that I’d probably like Tallinn a lot (more than Copenhagen!). And well, I actually only had half a day in Tallinn, but I can say I like it as much as Copenhagen. It’s...
If you are traveling to the Baltics (Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) then you are likely to discover LUX express and Simple Express. This is one of the two cheap bus service in the region. (The other is ecoline)
