Thanks a lot! I had seen many parts of Europe but never visited the Baltics before, at first I planned to go to just Tallinn, but I added Riga to the trip (would like to see Vilnius as well some day). I was interesting in seeing the combination of old towns and striking modern architecture and the rich history, from the medieval times to the Russian period to today. And I wanted to go somewhere where its not so expensive, I found out that Latvia is still cheap but Estonia not so cheap, except for the beer.
