Traffic rules and safety in the Baltics
Did you know that Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania rank higher than Sweden in several international safety surveys? This may be good to know. What's more, the people you meet along the way are often helpful and speak surprisingly good English - so don't hesitate to ask for directions or tips on your next stop.
Riding a motorbike in the Baltics is easy and safe. They are generally very good at following the rules of the road. Traffic is sparse and signposts follow international conventions. The roads are generally of a good standard, but as in Sweden, you always need to be aware of the tarmac, gravel in the curves and other oddities. There's just no getting away from it.
Remember that dipped headlights or daytime running lights are compulsory during the day.
You can drive safely with a standard EU driving licence (type A/A1/A2) and do not need any special permits.
Bring your EU medical card and double-check your motorcycle and travel insurance.
Suggested itinerary - three countries in one go
The Baltic countries are quite small, so sights and cities are not far apart - perfect for motorcyclists in warm leather gear!
Our top tip is to take the DFDS ferry from Karlshamn to Klaipeda, drive north through Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia and then take the ferry home from Paldiski to Kapellskär. You can also do the other way round. Either way, you don't have to drive the same way back and get to experience three countries in one trip!
Along the way there are plenty of opportunities to stop at local markets, small-scale wineries, microbreweries or swimming spots - feel free to ask your accommodation for their top tips on what to experience along the way.
Distances to plan your stages by:
- DFDS terminal in Klaipeda to Vilnius in Lithuania:≈ 31 miles
- Vilnius to Riga in Latvia:≈ 28 miles
- Riga to Tallinn in Estonia:≈ 31 miles
- Tallinn to DFDS terminal in Paldiski:≈ 4.5 miles
Food and experiences along the way
Riding a bike through the Baltics isn't just about the twisty roads and the hum of the engine. It's also about the stops and fun along the way. On your journey through the Baltics, you'll find everything from small farm shops to local smokehouses and roadside taverns serving freshly grilled meat or freshly smoked fish. Stay in accommodation near a microbrewery or a bar with local beers on tap - it's both affordable and delicious - especially after a long day on the bike.
When the helmet comes off for the day, it tastes extra good with something nice to eat. In cities like Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn, there are plenty of pubs, bistros and restaurants where you can sit down to chat about the day's adventures and just enjoy the atmosphere.
Speaking of breaks, there are many excellent places to stop along the way that won't cost you a penny. A picnic table by a lake, a shady spot at the edge of the forest, or a viewpoint overlooking the countryside – combine that with a thermos of coffee, something smoked from the market, and pleasant conversation. What more could you want from life?
Tips for a smooth motorbike journey
The Baltic countries are members of the EU and travelling here is no more difficult than in any other EU country, but we'll give you a few tips to make your experience as hassle-free as possible:
- Cards work almost everywhere, but keep some cash on hand in rural areas or for small purchases. All three countries use the euro.
- The mobile network is stable and works great for those with free EU surfing. Perfect for driving by GPS, making video calls or streaming music in the evening.
- For parking in larger cities, local apps are sometimes needed. Download Mobilly (Latvia), Unipark (Lithuania) and Pargi.ee (Estonia) in advance. It's nice to have it done before you travel, so you don't have to deal with it in full costume.
- The weather can change quickly, especially along the coast - pack rain gear so it's easily accessible in your packing box and have a dry undergarment ready.
- Petrol stations are plentiful, but can be few and far between on some routes - especially in national parks and inland areas. Fill up early rather than late.
- Also remember to keep a cloth and some glass polish in your packing box. Nobody wants to have to drive with a sticky visor. A little chain spray can also be useful if you have chain drive.
But most importantly - don't stress. The best memories don't always come from the drive itself, but from the stops along the way. A good lunch, a detour to something unexpected, or a laugh at a petrol station in the middle of nowhere - these are the things that make the journey.
