The Baltic states are bursting with historic cities and untouched nature full of lynx, wolves and brown bears. <em>Where the world can&#8217;t find you&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Estonia<\/h4>\n<p>Estonia is small, sparsely populated and beautiful. It is rich in folkloric traditions and endowed with wild nature and medieval towns. Stroll through <strong>Tallinn<\/strong>&#8216;s old town, sail to Women&#8217;s Island of <strong>Kihnu<\/strong>, hike through the lush nature of<strong> Lahemaa<\/strong>, spot birds in the wetlands of <strong>Matsalu<\/strong> and step into a V\u00f5rumese smoke sauna.<\/p>\n<h4>Latvia<\/h4>\n<p>A patchwork of seas, lakes and forests; Latvia is a vast, untouched parkland with only one real city. Art Nouveau Heaven <strong>Riga<\/strong> is the last stop before exploring the undulating tree-lined seas of <strong>Kurzeme<\/strong> , conquering the green hills of <strong>Vizdemet, hiking<\/strong> the fertile stream-laced plains of <strong>Zemgale<\/strong> and diving into the inhospitable nature of <strong>Latgale<\/strong>, covered with pristine lakes, swamps and rivers.<\/p>\n<h4>Lithuania<\/h4>\n<p>Lithuania is worth a visit for the <strong>Curonian Spit<\/strong> , the endless ribbon of white sand that lines the coastline, and the capital <strong>Vilnius<\/strong> , a popular artist gathering spot with old courtyards, cobbled streets and Baroque churches. But there is so much more. Look for the <strong>Hill of Crosses<\/strong> , take a tour of an ancient monastery and travel to <strong>Dz\u016bkija<\/strong> to experience how people lived in nature more than a hundred years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Old cities and rugged nature<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":36218,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"country":[],"continent_category":[264],"class_list":["post-221564","countries","type-countries","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","continent_category-europe"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/countries\/221564","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/countries"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/countries"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=221564"},{"taxonomy":"continent_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/continent_category?post=221564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
