Travels in Poland and the baltic countries (by car)
« on: June 28, 2015, 12:53:14 PM »
Hi all!

I'm considering a roadtrip starting in Stettin / Szczecin, Poland (arriving by ferry) and then taking about a week or a little more to travel to Latvia and then ferrying out from Riga or Ventspils. (There are also road trip parts on the other sides of the ferries)

Travel this way I would reasonably pass through Poland, Lituania and Latvia.  Natural places to stay would at first glance be at least the capitals (Warszawa, Kaunas, Riga) but I'm open to other suggestions. 

I would prefer to stay in the EU, and will probably not want to enter Belorus or Kaliningrad.

Does anyone have experience here?

- What to see and what to avoid? 

- Any security issues to consider when travelling alone here by (obviously foreign) car?

- General hints?

(also, sorry to any natives of these countries if I massacre the spelling of your countrys names)

It would also be possible for me to arrive in Gdansk/Gdynia and stick to northern Poland, skipping Warszawa to get quicker into Lithuania.
