I will be doing a series on streets and alleys of the Baltic countries.
I have been to all the Baltic capitals which includes visiting of some of the UNESCO Heritage sites like Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn etc.
What I found most interesting are the alleys and the streets which all have their own characteristics.
I am not able to tell you exactly where those alleys and streets are; in my simple mind, they are my memorable parts of the Baltic.
I like the cobblestones, the quaint street, the colored walls on both sides of the alleys, the cafes along or encroached onto the roads, the crude masonry wall facing and last, but not the least, the friendly people.
They leave an undeletable part in my memory!

Is amber a part of local culture? I understand that it is not found everywhere.
I guess so too. I have seen amber color glass wares being made there – that made me think of Murano.
Hmmm. Quite possibly. So you have been to venice too.
Only very briefly.
And hopefully at a time where there are not too many tourists? 😉
Some tourists hate visiting China because of the crowd – I can fully understand it.
