Northern Europe Self-Drive Road Trip 2024

Flanked by Russia to the east and the Baltic Sea to the west, the ‘Baltic States’ of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in Northern Europe are an enchanting land of untouched forests, beautiful cities and green meadows. Their long Soviet past has left indelible impressions in the form of Stalinist architecture and the occasional Lada cars zooming around, while the old towns of Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius exude the typical European charm – cobbled streets, cozy cafes and UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

This nine day self-drive road trip across three countries starts in the city of Tallinn (Estonia) in the north and ends in the city of Vilnius (Lithuania) in the south. A MotoRover Indian tour manager and a local European guide will lead the drive in a ‘Lead Car’ followed by the participant cars, while a ‘Sweep Car’ will follow the last car in the group to close the convoy. The Sweep Car also carries the group’s excess luggage and ensures everyone is on the right track.

Our route has a good mix of wide open highways and winding countryside roads that offer stunning rural landscapes of fields, blue skies, lakes and Baroque architecture. We are also going to visit a couple of islands during the trip and the best tourist attractions in the three countries along with a few quirky sights. Driving will be on paved roads and there are two options of rental SUVs to choose from.

The Northern Europe Road trip balances out the driving, sightseeing and free time to offer an immersive travelling experience. Hotels are centrally located in big cities where we will be taking you on a walking tour of the old quarters of the towns and the trip includes a couple of rest days for you to slow down and relax.

Drive with us this September to explore the forgotten part of the European continent.

All you have to do is take a flight to the destination. We handle the rest!
