- Hi everyone! This is episode four of my Baltics plus Finland series in which I travel to Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland. In this video, I swap one Baltic capital for another by travelling from Vilnius to Riga. I decided to travel by bus which took about five hours, and this video will show you my experience as well as what to expect when taking this journey in winter.
The vlog starts with me walking to the Vilnius bus station, which is the biggest bus station in the Baltics. I arrive early to familiarise myself with and explore the bus station, and grab a quick coffee before boarding.
I provide commentary on various elements of the journey, both verbal and in written form (as I didn't want to talk too much to annoy the other passengers!). We will drive through some interesting towns and magical landscapes covered in snow.
After arrival in Riga, I give a quick summary of my experience and some useful tips to keep in mind if you're ever thinking of doing this trip.
I then head into Riga to find my accommodation and give a tour of it, before calling it a day after a long bus journey!
I hope you find this video informative and enjoyable. If you haven't done so already, please give this video a LIKE and please SUBSCRIBE to the channel. It really helps me out and doesn't cost you anything! It also allows me to make more videos such as these, for your free enjoyment.
Happy exploring!
Willie

Always interesting to see your travel to/between places, Willie. A few vloggers have used Flixbus and they always seem to get good reviews. Amazing apartment too! Looking forward to seeing Riga😊
Thanks Sheila, it was a very beautiful journey driving through all that forest and snow! The apartment was fantastic. I've only used FlixBus once before, when travelling from Tirana to Skopje - but that was not a bus like this! Riga content coming soon :)
We went in summer....a totally different world!
Of cause ,we stopped at all the litlle villages to see the country properly....
But,enjoy your winter full of snow!!❤
Thanks Emmerentia. I did the summer trip back in 2008 and yes, a very different experience. No warm hat and long johns, but shorts and flip flops instead. Glad you got to see more of the countryside and other places in Lithuania. Dankie vir die ondersteuning!
Very interesting journey 👍👍👍😊
A wonderful trip! Glad you enjoy my videos :)
Great video as always, Willie Explore! Willie-Nius was interesting, but it's time to head out!
Ahhh I see what you did there, Jasper! Willie-Nius, very clever! Always great to hit the road to new places, even on a five hour bus ;)
Hey Willie
Glad to see you made it to Riga safely .
First impressions Riga looks like another really interesting city , I'm looking forward for Riga content keep it up brother🔥🔥🔥👍👍
Cheers my good friend, it was a beautiful journey but I made good use of that apartment couch with a well-deserved snooze, let me tell you! Riga content coming shortly, I know you will like it :)
Lietuva - Latvija - Eesti !
Greetings from Moldavia/România !
Thanks for the support, I appreciate it!
Wow! Man! So glad to hear the Brit accent, my pleasure you visit my country, of course you know no Queen of England there, just Dukes of Lithuania, or may be you gonna find a king Mindaugas.. that’s gonna be a treasure.. So , enjoy our country, and feel free.. don’t be shy to ask anything, we don’t harm your royalty..Enjoy!🇱🇹🇺🇸🏴👋
Haha thanks my friend, the accent is South African but I do sound British for many people back home now :) Thanks for watching!
Nice video, visiting the baltic countries was a good choice!
Cheers for watching and taking the time to comment, Martin! Definitely a great choice, a very interesting part of the world!
Very informative willie
Thank you Annie! Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
Brilliant video Willie it looks buses are like our own national express coaches who cover the uk excellent quality of show different parts of the cities including country that gives glimpses of what you except when heading towards certain checkpoints and view is breathtaking when looking at the scene thank you for showing interest place! Ps lucky person with the room especially cleaning up looks awesome thanks Willie!
Thanks my friend, I had no major complaints about this journey or the apartment! Best wishes
Woww 👍👍 I really enjoyed that bus ride, I definitely have to follow your route at some stage! I’m running a bit behind here, just watched this video, but I really enjoy your winter adventures! Cheers! 🍺🍺🍺
Thank you my friend, wishing you a wonderful festive period! A very good bargain travelling between the two capitals for that price
You can also take a train from Vilnius to Riga, the travel is quite enjoyable. I prefer it over the bus every time, a bit more expensive though.
Cheers for watching and providing that insight, I'm sure the scenery through the train window is something to behold!
Mooi toer Willie. Groete
Dankie, Tosca! Geseënde Kersfees daar in Lima!
Willie dieselfde vir JOu! Ek gaan bietjie jou videos kyk soos jy travel hier oor die groot dae In koue Europa! Groete@@willieexplore
@@toscabrutus1781 wonderlik om te hoor, dankie!
Which coffee is better Vilnius or Funchal ? I wish you a great trip . Greetings from Montreal Canada 🇨🇦 I like your videos very much ,
Hi there! Thank you so much for your kind words, I'm really pleased that you enjoy my content! Price-wise it is definitely the Funchal coffee and perhaps quality-wise too, but the Vilnius coffee kept me warm when needed! More videos coming soon so watch out for those :)
I think you got a great price for your stay . Please let me know which places in Funchal would you recommend for me as you know I’m going in June for three weeks. Thank you Merry Christmas and happy new year .
@@adel-711 very happy to help! I can recommend the place I stayed at but note that there is no lift so you will need to take stairs to your room. If you want to splash out on a bit more luxury, there are many price comparison websites to help. If you're planning to do a lot of walking in Funchal, I'd recommend a central location.
I wait you Tallinn old town vlog
Hi Andreas! Yep, will come in due course :)
So narvesen is like the "7/11" of lithuania
Something like that
