Lithuania is a treasure of a country with its beautiful sea coast, white sandy beaches, stunning nature, crystal clear lakes, green forests that stretch forever and to top it all, Vilnius. Vilnius is a true gem, with cobbled streets, old churches, lovely restaurants and an artist’s center. 

There is a unique spot on the coastline called Curonian Spit, simply stunning, with wetlands, birds, lakes and forests.

With a vibrant nightlife, both in Vilnius and on the coast, there are also plenty of activities to undertake in the rest of the country. Lithuania prides itself on its warm and welcoming people. At The Baltic Travel Group, DMC Lithuania, we would love to assist you with your next travel.

Today we visit Trakai, the former capital of Lithuania. The city is located on an island in the middle of a lake. The 14th-century red brick castle now houses an art museum. The castles of Trakai are the most famous works of the defense architecture in Lithuania. The ancient town of Trakai, surrounded by lakes, is one of the most impressive and picturesque locations in Europe. Here is still a small community of Karaites, they profess Judaism. It is believed that they were transferred from the Crimea by the Great Lithuanian Duke Vytautas.
