Lithuania Travel guide
Lithuania : Michelin's recommendations
Along with Estonia and Latvia, Lithuania is one of the (three) Baltic States bordering on the Baltic Sea that were long burdened by the imperialist appetites of their Polish and Russian big brothers. Visitors will be instantly captivated by Vilnius, its capital, with its medieval maze of cobblestone streets, its many churches of different styles and denominations, and its houses painted in shades of pink, pistachio and coffee. Trakai, the country's "medieval" capital near Vilnius, is a charming village surrounded by lakes which also attracts visitors who come to see its island castle. Kaunas, less well-known but very lively, is a major economic centre in Lithuania boasting a colourful historic centre built on a human scale and an impressive number of museums. In the inland region of rolling hills, pine forests and tranquil lakes you can explore Aukštaitija Park, a veritable ethnographic reserve containing small villages with churches and wooden houses. The wetlands around the Neman Delta, nearer to the coast, are a fascinating environment. Just across from them lies Courland Isthmus with its dunes, beaches and pine forests. Palanga, farther north on the famous Amber Coast, is a popular Lithuanian seaside resort with many bars and restaurants.
