Where is Lithuania located? 
Weather for business groups, leisure or meetings – Lithuania is a gorgeous hidden gem waiting to be explored. Nevertheless, this beautiful gem can be easily found in Europe – nestled in the heart of the Baltic sea region.
The lyrics of one of Lithuanian songs say it’s in the middle of Europe – and indeed, this is true. Using the method of gravitational centres, researchers at the National Institute of Geographic and Forest Information in France established that the geographical centre of Europe is in fact found in Lithuania. Lithuania borders Latvia, Belarus and Poland and has a wonderful 90 km of the Baltic Sea coastline.

We recommend planning not only for round trip routes
If you want to use your time even more wisely we recommend plan not only round trip tours but combine different arrival/departure countries. For Example:
- Tour from Finland to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania plus Poland. Your flights in that case could be arriving to Helsinki airport in Finland and departing from Warsaw airport in Poland.
- Tour from Lithuania to Estonia and visiting Latvia in the middle. Your flights in that case could be arriving to Vilnius airport in Lithuania and departing from Talin airport in Estonia.
- Tour from Poland to Latvia and visiting Lithuania in the middle. Your flights in that case could be arriving to Warsaw airport in Lithuania and departing from Riga airport in Latvia.

Travel to Lithuania by Train
Lithuania is now well connected by rail to the rest of Europe. Daily trains operated by LTG Link and PKP Intercity link Vilnius with Warsaw and Kraków (with a seamless platform transfer at Mockava on the Lithuanian-Polish border). From December 2025, two trains run daily, reducing the Warsaw–Vilnius journey to approximately 7.5 hours. Kaunas is also served on this route.
Since January 2025, Vilnius is also connected to Riga and Tallinn by a coordinated daily rail service, operated jointly by LTG Link, Latvian carrier Vivi, and Estonian carrier Elron. The Vilnius–Tallinn journey takes approximately 10.5 hours with two short transfers (in Riga and in Valga), and a single ticket covers the entire route. The Rail Baltica high-speed line, currently under construction, will eventually cut the Vilnius–Tallinn journey to under 4 hours and connect the Baltic capitals directly to Warsaw and the broader European rail network.
