More information about Lithuania

Lithuania is the southernmost and largest of the three Baltic states, with a history shaped by the medieval Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Soviet occupation, and independence regained in 1990.

Vilnius, its capital, holds one of the largest Baroque old towns in Northern Europe, recognised by UNESCO for its architectural richness.

Along the coast, the Curonian Spit offers some of Europe's most striking dune landscapes, protected as a national park and shared with Kaliningrad.

Lithuanian cuisine is hearty and rooted in potatoes, rye bread and dairy, with dishes like cepelinai (potato dumplings) reflecting the country's rural traditions.
