Lithuania boasts a rich heritage and vibrant modern culture. The old town of capital Vilnius is on the UNESCO World Heritage List, while the country’s diverse population celebrates many international events and festivities throughout the year — many of which have been influenced by neighboring nations.
Travel writer Jim Dobson says of discovering the “magical” bucket list-worthy country of Lithuania, “Everything in Vilnius works with symbiotic energy, with a youthful and vibrant art scene mixed with a historic, architectural presence that honors its past From its offbeat bars and cafes to its medieval churches, just walking through the city filled with German gothic, Italian Baroque and French classicist architecture, and Russian Orthodox domes open your senses.”
Love a good meal? You’ll absolutely find it in Lithuania. “It might take some time to get used to Lithuanian food, but once you do, you won’t be able to live without it! From potato dishes like cepelinai or kugelis to desserts like šakotis, Lithuanian food never fails to impress. So, let’s not pretend that food is not an important factor while choosing a place to live and agree that Lithuania has an upper hand over most other locations in the world,” enthuses Culture Trip.
