Key Highlights: from Nature and History to Traditions and Local Hospitality

5 Day Round Trip in Stunning Lithuania

A 5-day journey through Lithuania will let you discover the depths of Lithuanian culture, traditions, history, and heritage. Witness the diverse Lithuanian landscape, from lush forests ideal for mushroom hunting and wildlife observation, to the sandy beaches of the Baltic Sea, where wandering dunes create a scene reminiscent of the Sahara Desert.

Explore the biggest cities such as Vilnius, Kaunas, and Klaipeda, each offering vibrant city life, modern museums, trendy restaurants, and intriguing yet lesser-known attractions. Activities range from edge walking at the TV tower and nocturnal river canoeing to honey tasting at an urban beekeeper’s farm.
