Best Holidays to Lithuania

Lithuania Holidays

The capital of Lithuania is Vilnius, which is certainly your first port of call when visiting this exciting and interesting country. Vilnius is known for its baroque architecture, displayed prominently in the medieval Old Town, which is the largest in central and Eastern Europe. Here, you can’t go wrong with a day of sightseeing, beginning with a visit to the neoclassical Vilnius Cathedral. Often mistaken for a museum due to its unusual exterior, the cathedral stands tall in the centre of the main square, with a separate bell tower. Other notable attractions include The Museum of Genocide Victims, the Gothic St. Anne’s Church, and the 16^th century Gate of Dawn.

The southernmost of the Baltic states, Lithuania might, on the surface, appear to be an unusual holiday destination, but lovers of tradition, culture, unique architecture and beaches surely won't be disappointed. Open spaces and beautiful landscapes are in abundance here, decorated with sparkling lakes, interspersed with verdant pine forests and images of the striking Baltic Sea. UNESCO World Heritage Sites are also a deep-rooted Lithuanian tradition highlighting the country's natural beauty from the soft dunes of the Curonian Spit to the Struve Geodesic Arc, which is the most accurately measured and longest meridian arc.

Whether you visit Lithuania for the aim of unwinding on the stunning beaches, exploring the natural spaces or admiring the medieval baroque architecture, this is a country that has something that appeals to everyone. For the best choice of culinary treats both traditional and international, Vilnius is the place to go. You'll find a multitude of restaurants ranging from quick eats to more gourmet affairs while you can't miss out on sampling cepelinai, the national dish. Large dumplings made up of a mixture of raw and cooked potatoes filled with pork and soaked in a sauce of sour cream and bacon, this is truly indulgence at its finest.
