2025 Lithuania Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

One of the three Baltic countries in Europe is Lithuania, the capital of Lithuania, Vilnius! It is a wonderful country where you can feel the European atmosphere to your heart's content with many Baroque-style buildings. Trakai and Old Town, famous in Lithuania, are also very close to the city and are good places to visit, so if you visit Vilnius, Lithuania, you must visit Trakai! It's like a landscape from a fairy tale ♥ #EuropeanTravel #Lithuania #EasternEurope #Vilnius #TrakaiCastle

Nice architecture. Nice food. Local people are very welcoming and helpful. Downtown is s nice area to walk around. Lots of shopping, restaurants and churches. #awesomepic

#tripaway Plunge Missile base The renovated manor is obviously beautiful and they are renovating other buildings on the property so in time it could get a 5 star but at the moment the art exhibition inside doesn’t make up for it. I wish there could’ve been a historical museum inside showing the life of previous owners. Nice enough park. #tripaway

#tripaway #mazepark Labyrinth Park is a unique and the only amusement park of this type not only in Lithuania but also in the Baltic States. Endless entertainment awaits you here. Very nice park with plants and labyrinth. The smell of nature, nice place. Can try your abilities to cross this place. No dislikes, liked everything #tripaway

#tripaway Panevėžio Alpakų ūkis Alpaca farm. With two brother-llamas. It isa private farm, so you need to give a call before visit so hosts will set up the time for you. Entrance fee - 3 euro for adult and 2 for children. 1 euro for feed. Which is strongly recommend by me! #tripaway

#tripaway Molėtų technikos muziejus Museum of old cars and and other vehicles .It is really an interesting place for all those who love old cars.Nothing really much to see but it’s an interesting place and free.A must visit in Lithuania too! #tripaway

#tripaway BIRSTONAS It’s not a bad place but a little pricey for me . Indeed Good, but a little too expensive. Great atmosphere and good location. Food also good. We ate pizza and for me it was the best pizza in Birštonas, but the prices are a little too high for this city. #tripaway

Here are some recommended dishes I ate in Lithuania that I want everyone to try 🍴 📷️2《Cold beetroot soup》 This is unusual in that it looks completely pink, isn't it? ☺️ It looks cute, so I recommend it to people who like pink. 📷️3《Czepelinai》 Potato dumplings 🥔 Wrapped in minced meat, the potatoes around it are chewy 😋 Lithuania has a lot of potato dishes! 📷️4《Bulbinai bulinai》 Potato pancakes 🥞 Perfect for breakfast! Eat with sour cream. 📷️5《Kibinay》 Meat pie! It's a pie, but it's not crispy, but rather filling, and it was delicious ❤️ The delicious-looking photos must have made you want to eat it too? ☺️ #0 yen trip #lithuania #Lithuania

#travellerswonderland #myhiddengems I recently visited a Lithuanian dessert shop, and it was absolutely gorgeous. The moment I walked in, I was captivated by the charming, cozy atmosphere. The décor was a perfect blend of rustic and modern, with wooden accents, soft lighting, and beautiful displays of traditional Lithuanian pastries. The aroma of freshly baked goods filled the air, instantly making me feel at home. The desserts themselves were a true highlight. I tried the Šakotis, a traditional tree cake, and it was delicious—light, sweet, and with just the right amount of crunch. They also had an array of other treats like honey cakes and delicate pastries, each one beautifully presented. The staff was incredibly friendly, offering helpful suggestions and sharing the stories behind the desserts. Every bite felt like a little piece of Lithuania, and I left with a newfound love for these delightful sweets. I can't wait to go back!

It’s becoming quite rare so these moments are even closer to heart than ever before ♥️🏡#lithuania #home #cominghome #goodfoods #trip

The hill of crosses looks like somewhere straight out of a medieval or distopian like movie. Unique tourist attraction, if not a little eerie. It is located a short drive from Siauliai in Lithuania. If you happen to be nearby I recommend stopping by for a visit. The hill is made up of so many different types and sizes of crosses. #historicallandmarks #falltrip #siauliai #lithuania #europe

If you go to the Gedinimas Castle Tower, you can enjoy the whole view of Vilnius at a glance. The entrance fee to the tower is 5 euros, but the view from the nearby wall is beautiful enough, so it's okay not to go in. Since it's a landmark of Vilnius, if you visit Lithuania, I recommend you visit it at least once :) ✔️ There's also a pnikula that goes up to the tower entrance! The price is 2 euros #European travel #Lithuania
