LT Lithuania · 10 regions · 50 places
Historic cities, lake country, Baltic dunes and regional culture
Lithuania combines compact historic cities with large forest and lake landscapes, a distinctive Baltic coast and a network of castles, museums and religious sites. The places below are spread across the country so that Vilnius is balanced with Kaunas, Samogitia, Aukštaitija, Dzūkija, the Curonian Spit and the Nemunas valley.
Choose a route, then make it yours. Every day is already in a sensible order.
Vilnius
Three days centred on Vilnius combine the historic centre, Castle Hill, major state collections, religious landmarks and twentieth-century history without compressing the city into a single long walk.
Trakai · Kernavė
A two-day route links Trakai’s lake castles and Karaim heritage with the hillfort and archaeological landscape of Kernavė, giving two different perspectives on medieval Lithuania.
Kaunas
Kaunas is paired with Rumšiškės to cover medieval origins, civic architecture, occupation history, modern religious architecture, Baroque heritage and traditional rural buildings.
Klaipėda · Juodkrantė · Nida
Four days move from Klaipėda across the lagoon to the Curonian Spit, combining maritime history, protected dunes, Juodkrantė sculpture trails and the cultural landscape around Nida.
Palanga
A short coastal route pairs Palanga’s amber collections and landscaped park with the wooded bluff at Dutchman’s Cap, showing both resort heritage and a more exposed mainland coast.
Šiauliai
Two days allow time for Šiauliai’s civic and museum sites before a separate visit to the Hill of Crosses, avoiding the need to rush a place of active religious meaning.
Plateliai · Telšiai / Plungė
This Samogitian route combines national-park landscape, Soviet military history and two important regional centres, giving both environmental and cultural context.
Biržai · Anykščiai · Molėtai · Palūšė
Four days cross north-eastern Lithuania from Biržai’s fortress and karst lakes to Anykščiai forest, the ethnocosmology museum and the lake country of Aukštaitija National Park.
Druskininkai · Musteika · Merkinė
A southern route links contested twentieth-century memory at Grūtas with the forests of Dzūkija National Park and the river landscape around Merkinė.
Panemunė · Raudonė
Two neighbouring castle estates provide a compact journey along the Nemunas, with enough time to see both the buildings and their surrounding park landscapes.
Vilnius · Trakai · Kaunas · Klaipėda · +5
A ten-day national overview connects the capital, medieval Trakai, Kaunas, the Baltic coast, Samogitia, northern and eastern Lithuania, Dzūkija and the lower Nemunas. It is intended as a broad first journey rather than exhaustive regional coverage.
Vilnius · Trakai · Kernavė · Kaunas · +1
Five days trace a sequence of political and defensive centres from Vilnius and Trakai to Kernavė and Kaunas, finishing with early-modern noble residences along the Nemunas.
