Baltic Sea Motorcycle Trip: Baltic States Tour

This Baltic Sea motorcycle tour begins in Kiel, where you load your own motorcycle onto the ferry to Klaipeda and spend the first night on board. From there, this Lithuania motorcycle tour rolls across the Curonian Spit, past Palanga and Kuldiga, on to a Latvia motorcycle tour through the capital Riga. Via Gauja National Park you continue to an Estonia motorcycle tour through Pärnu, Haapsalu, and Tallinn, before the ferry carries you on to Stockholm. This self-guided tour links three capital cities, historic Hanseatic towns, and quiet coastal roads into one compact round trip for anyone with a tight time budget.

Highlights

Curonian Spit Detour

On this Curonian Spit detour, you ride through sparse forests and over dunes to the UNESCO World Heritage national park. The fishing villages of Nida and Juodkrante, with their colorful wooden houses, invite you to rest along the promenade.

Baltic Capital Cities

Riga is one of the finest stops on any Latvia motorcycle tour: cobblestone lanes, Art Nouveau façades, and a lively center meet the calm of the old town. Tallinn's defensive walls also impress with their history as a Hanseatic trading city.

Ferry Crossings Included

Every ferry-assisted motorcycle tour saves time and kilometers: the crossings Kiel–Klaipeda and Tallinn–Stockholm are already included in the price, cabin and motorcycle transport included. That leaves more time for the roads on land.

Sweden's Coastline

From Stockholm to Ystad, this Sweden motorcycle tour hugs the Baltic coast the whole way, passing red wooden houses, quiet harbors, and the old town lanes of Kalmar. A relaxed finale after the bustle of the Baltics.

Self-Guided Freedom

This self-guided Baltic States motorcycle tour gives you complete freedom: GPS data, a route description, and maps are all included, so you set your own pace and breaks, entirely without a guide.
