The Baltic States (not to be confused with Baltic countries), are three small countries of Eastern Europe, with a long history of difficult relationships with powerful neighbors; including being part of the Soviet Union for most of the 20th century. They are the only ex-USSR states in European Union and NATO.

Countries

North to South:

• Estonia
• Latvia
• Lithuania

Other destinations

• Kaliningrad is not a Baltic state, but a capital of small Russian enclave between Lithuania and Poland. The enclave is called Kaliningrad oblastj.

Understand

Despite similar recent history and the geographical location, the three Baltic states have little else in common. Estonia aspires in direction of Northern Europe while Lithuania focuses on its connection to Poland and Central Europe.

Latvia and Estonia suffer the consequence of the 50 years of Soviet rule - sizeable and unsettled Russian minorities.
