I think it could be cool because
1. It’s not a huge tourist destination and I’m sure there is cool in well known stuff
2. Hot women
3. I want to go somewhere my sister hasn’t been toand she’s been about everywhere else

Did that trip 2 summers ago and loved it. It's dirt cheap in the Baltic and friendly people. There are some hot women but I was with my wife.... But I'm good with that.... In case she reads this..... We flew into Helsinki which I recommend spending 2 or 3 days in. I had been there 15 years ago but is a much more dynamic city now. Tallinn is a nice city but the old town is over run with tourists.... It's still beautiful though. There is a really hip area outside if old Town called the Russian district or Russian something and we spent most our time there. Estonia has some beautiful countryside too. Riga is my favorite city in the Baltic. Lots of young creative types and one of the coolest brewpubs I've been to. Vilnius is cool too but not as much to do as Riga. I can give you some specifics if you decide to go.

I'd love to visit those countries.
Maybe include Helsinki and Stockholm via ferry.

I know Riga is a huge party destination that’s super tied into the Russian mafia where tourists often get their arse whipped.

Ive been to all 3, though not in the same trip.
Tallinn (Estonia) is probably the most scenic of the three capitals, and is like something out of a medieval fairy tale. You can reasonably see most things in the Old Town in a day or two. People were pretty friendly and most of the vendors in the Old Town spoke pretty decent english.
Riga(Latvia) was surprisingly nice. IMO the best part of the city is the market. You can find everything from Soviet memorabilia, antique currency, food, etc. The city itself has a pretty interesting history and the Old Town is know for the art-nouveau style buildings. Like someone else mentioned, this is a party destination, mostly for UK stag groups, but its still a safe place to spend some time.
Vilnius (Lithuania) is the biggest of the 3 capitals I think. It has the largest old town in Europe and offers a lot to explore. Its probably the cheapest of the 3 and you can find a good meal for less than 10 bucks. There are some really good museums here, like one dedicated to victims of the KGB and WWII. You can also find a lot of There is also an area called the Republic of Uzupis which is an artist community that declared "independence" from Lithuania. There is more english here than Riga, but less than Tallinn. Dont speak Russian with ethnic lith's, they really dont like Russia.
There are some other cities that're probably worth visiting like Jurmala, Trakai, Tartu, the Curonian Split, Klaipedia, Kaunas, etc.
I found the Baltic states to be pretty safe. As long as you use common sense, you'll be fine.
