About Lithuania
Lithuania's capital, Vilnius, boasts one of the largest and best-preserved Baroque Old Towns in Eastern Europe, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city's mix of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture, along with a thriving arts and cafe scene, makes it a compelling cultural destination. The Hill of Crosses near Siauliai, covered with over 100,000 crosses, is one of the Baltic region's most striking pilgrimage sites.
On the coast, the Curonian Spit -- a narrow sand dune peninsula shared with Russia's Kaliningrad region -- is a UNESCO-listed natural wonder with towering dunes and pine forests. Lithuania is one of the most affordable countries in the EU, offering excellent value for travelers seeking Baltic amber, hearty cuisine, and off-the-beaten-path European charm.
