Trip ideas and inspiration
When you come to Lithuania be sure not to miss the country’s four UNESCO World Heritage Sites – the historic Old Town of Vilnius; the breathtakingly beautiful Curonian Spit, a 50 km stretch of white sand and pines extending into the Baltic Sea; the mystical hill forts of the Kernavė archeological and cultural reserve; and points along the Struvė Geodetic Arc – physical geography monuments worthy of a Jules Verne novel.
Other Lithuanian gems which are scattered across the country include beautiful castles, palaces and mansions that once belonged to the country’s nobility. These architectural records of the country’s economic and cultural history – many of them now converted into elegant hotels, some with restaurants offering a taste of traditional manor cuisine – invite guests to become acquainted with the lifestyles of old Lithuania’s gentry and nobility.
