Bikepacking from Riga to Tallinn

Embark on a scenic cycling adventure from the charming city of Riga to the enchanting capital of Estonia, Tallinn. You'll cover approximately 442 kilometers, offering a delightful mix of terrain and views that are guaranteed to leave you breathless (in a good way!).

Starting in Riga, Latvia's vibrant capital known for its art nouveau architecture and lively atmosphere, you'll pedal your way across peaceful roads and picturesque paths. Expect plenty of quiet roadways for about 45% of your journey, with a sprinkle of cycleways and tracks keeping it varied and fun.

Nearly 57% of the route's surface is unspecified, which adds a touch of mystery—suiting adventurous souls ready for a surprise. Asphalt and gravel will be your main companions, making up about 30% of the trip.

Along the way, relish in the gradual shift of landscapes—from Latvia's sprawling meadows to Estonia’s dense forests. You'll politely ascend and descend around 1,644 meters without maxing any serious heights, so breathe easy!

Arriving in Tallinn, prepare to be captivated by its fairy-tale-like old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It's the perfect end to a delightful cycling expedition, and maybe a well-deserved coffee as a reward for a ride well conquered!
