The perfect choice for a short city break, Lithuania’s compact and cosy capital of Vilnius is full of the history and culture that embody this country’s spirit. The cobbled streets of its UNESCO listed baroque Old Town will guide you through an impressive mix of architectural styles, mysterious sculptures and beautiful gardens. If you're looking to stay longer, the more modern Kaunas, with its colourful street art and the stunning surroundings of Pažaislis Monastery, is well worth the visit. If nature is more your thing, then a trip to the Curonian Spit National Park, with its wildlife-rich sand dunes and pine forests, is a must. Meanwhile, water sport enthusiasts can enjoy a day on the lagoon. After time well spent discovering limestone quarries, hidden castles and calming cascades, you’ll be more than ready to try the hearty national dish, Cepelinai, followed by a šakotis "branched tree" cake, all the while admiring the ethereal purple sunsets along Lithuania’s dramatic coastline.
