Soviet remnants are scattered throughout the cities, lakes, national parks and beaches of the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Abandoned prisons, communist-era architecture and crumbling buildings have become home to many a stork's nest. While the three countries differ in language and currency (though Latvia switched to the Euro in early 2014), they share the same history of occupation. This is where the Singing Revolution that led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union began. The capital cities of Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius all have bustling historic old towns, but friendly locals are happy to show you some of the more hidden sights.
