Vilnius, famed for its baroque heritage, unfolds cobbled lanes, pastel church fa\u00e7ades, hidden courtyards and creative corners such as U\u017eupis, while Kaunas \u2014 European Capital of Culture in 2022 \u2014 showcases a distinctive interwar modernism and a lively arts scene. To the west, the Curonian Lagoon leads to the Curonian Spit (Neringa), where giant dunes, cycling paths and colourful fishing villages create the perfect slow-travel setting.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"848\" data-end=\"1425\">Beyond the cities, Lithuania is a land of lakes, forests and national parks (Auk\u0161taitija, Dz\u016bkija, Samogitia), with bog boardwalks, peaceful river paddling and discreet wildlife. Iconic stops punctuate a road trip: the Hill of Crosses near \u0160iauliai, Trakai Castle set on the water, the seaside resorts of Palanga and Nida, plus thought-provoking memory museums in Vilnius and food markets that highlight local produce (rye, mushrooms, honey, berries). With short distances, great-value accommodation and a calm, unhurried atmosphere, Lithuania is easy and rewarding to explore.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 data-start=\"1427\" data-end=\"1472\">\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f Practical information about Lithuania<\/h3>\r\n<p data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"2156\">\ud83d\udccd <strong data-start=\"1477\" data-end=\"1488\">Capital<\/strong>: Vilnius<br data-start=\"1497\" data-end=\"1500\" \/>\ud83d\udc65 <strong data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1517\">Population<\/strong>: Around 2.8 million inhabitants<br data-start=\"1549\" data-end=\"1552\" \/>\ud83d\udcb6 <strong data-start=\"1555\" data-end=\"1567\">Currency<\/strong>: Euro (\u20ac)<br data-start=\"1577\" data-end=\"1580\" \/>\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"1584\" data-end=\"1605\">Official language<\/strong>: Lithuanian (English widely spoken in cities; Russian\/Polish present in some areas)<br data-start=\"1689\" data-end=\"1692\" data-is-only-node=\"\" \/>\u23f0 <strong data-start=\"1694\" data-end=\"1707\">Time zone<\/strong>: UTC +2 (winter) \/ UTC +3 (summer)<br data-start=\"1742\" data-end=\"1745\" \/>\ud83c\udf21\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"1749\" data-end=\"1760\">Climate<\/strong>: Cool Baltic\/continental \u2014 cold, snowy winters; mild, bright summers<br data-start=\"1829\" data-end=\"1832\" \/>\ud83d\udeec <strong data-start=\"1835\" data-end=\"1861\">Getting there &amp; around<\/strong>: Flights to Vilnius (VNO) and Kaunas (KUN); efficient buses\/trains; coastal cycling routes<br data-start=\"1952\" data-end=\"1955\" \/>\ud83c\udfdb\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"1959\" data-end=\"1973\">Highlights<\/strong>: Vilnius (UNESCO old town, U\u017eupis), Kaunas (interwar modernism), Trakai Castle, Curonian Spit (Nida, dunes), Palanga, Hill of Crosses, Auk\u0161taitija, Dz\u016bkija &amp; Samogitia National Parks<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 data-start=\"2158\" data-end=\"2194\">\ud83c\udfe8 Find a good hotel in Lithuania<\/h2>\r\n<p data-start=\"2196\" data-end=\"2501\">Whether your itinerary focuses on historic cities, the Curonian Spit, national parks or lake country, you\u2019ll find great-value stays \u2014 from boutique hotels to wooden guesthouses and nature retreats. \ud83c\udf1f <strong data-start=\"2399\" data-end=\"2440\"><a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/booking.tp.st\/NFLf13Lo\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"2401\" data-end=\"2438\">See the best hotels in Lithuania<\/a><\/strong> to compare offers, reviews and prices for your travel dates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 data-start=\"2503\" data-end=\"2535\">\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f Articles about Lithuania<\/h3>\r\n<p data-start=\"2537\" data-end=\"2712\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Below, you\u2019ll find our <strong data-start=\"2560\" data-end=\"2601\">selection of articles about Lithuania<\/strong>, followed by the <strong data-start=\"2619\" data-end=\"2635\">latest posts<\/strong>, to help you plan your trip and explore the country\u2019s most beautiful places.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/destinations-europe.com\/en\/category\/visit-lithuania\/","name":"LITHUANIA","slug":"visit-lithuania","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Travel in Lithuania | Guides and tips, from Vilnius to Kaunas<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Traveling in Lithuania means you\u2019re sure to admire strikingly varied landscapes, and to enjoy a wide range of experiences too.
