For the Baltic states, it is best to not plan a short trip and the best would be a 3-week long stay. To get a good view of each capital you would need at least 2 to 4 days. To visit the best landscapes it would need 7-8 days. Do not forget to include the traveling time!
2. You Don’t Need A Special Visa
If you are from the U.S. and planning to visit the Baltic states, the good news is you do not need to get a separate visa approved for it. The only condition you need to abide by is that your passport needs to be legally valid for the three months following the end date of your trip to the Baltic states. If that is not how your passport dates look, renew and have fun!
