Lithuania Trips & Holidays
(5/5)
based on 52 reviews
Before Lithuania holidays became commonplace, it was once only known as a small country ruled a vast empire. Lithuania is rich in history and culture - visitors spending their holidays there will be enchanted by the scenery and how warm and outgoing the local people are.
Though it has a modern day population of less than 3 million, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was once the largest country in Europe, so if booking Lithuania holidays be sure to explore its vast landscape and tag along to some tours.

More about Lithuania Trips & Holidays
Through the BBC programme 'The Hairy Bikers Northern Exposure' and the more recent screening of ‘War and Peace’ we were re-introduced to our colourful neighbours from the Baltics. The Hairy Bikers served up the splendour of Baltic culture, history, architecture and, last but not least, traditional Baltic cuisine. The programme showed us all there is to know about comfort food from across the Baltic Sea region.
A trip to Lithuania, with its coastal region on the Baltic Sea and borders with Poland and Latvia, offers great traditional dishes with fresh fish and sea food, alongside wonderfully coloured salads and pickled condiments drawing on Russian and Polish influences.
If you watched War and Peace on BBC, here you have the chance to visit the War and Peace film locations, including the battle fields and scenes shot in Vilnius. Contact us to follow in the footsteps of War and Peace.
Vilnius is the capital and largest city in Lithuania, and one of the most popular areas for Lithuania holidays. It was one of the biggest cities in Eastern Europe in the 16th century and today it boasts a beautiful Baroque Old Town, one of the largest in Europe. It is situated in the southeast corner of the country, near the Belarus border, on the banks of the Neris River.
Since Lithuania was the first Soviet Republic to declare independence in 1990, Vilnius has changed to a modern city without losing the style associated with its long history.
Vilnius offers an Old Town with buildings restored in a beautiful manner; a 13th Century Cathedral, dedicated to Saints Stanislaus and Ladislaus and on the UNESCO World Heritage List; centuries of history and culture to explore and all within a city which has all the modern experiences and facilities the demanding traveler could desire.
Moving away from Vilnius, a visit to the Hill of Crosses is essential. Located about 150 miles northwest of Vilnius, is a small hill where many hundreds of thousands of crosses have been placed to represent peaceful resistance to foreign oppression.
We would also recommend the famous Trakai Castle, surrounded by water on an island in Lake Galvé and a major centre of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
Due to its size, Walking tours in Lithuania, or Cycling tours, are all recommended to explore this fascinating country at a more leisurely pace. Walking tours in Vilnius can also be extended into the countryside, should you wish to explore beyond the city, choosing Lithuania holidays would be a wise decision, you'd have a lot to see!
We know Lithuania and we will take you there.

Hello Iveta,
We really enjoyed the holiday as each place was so different and interesting to discover. The tour guide in Vilnius was really good and we were fortunate to see a procession of pilgrims going to the Gates of Dawn. Our first meal happened to be Indian as it was just outside our hotel which was brilliant. We also had a typical Lithuanian meal at a place called Lokys which was very tasty even though more on the expensive side. The one way system was a challenge but we found Hotel Amberton eventually. Unfortunately there were no spaces in hotel car park so had to get up early each morning to put money in meter.
The Sana spa hotel in Druskininkai was excellent except that we did not manage to have the back massage together as planned. They did not seem to understand that we expected the massage to be in the same room. However it was a very good massage. The buffet breakfasts we would highly recommend. We enjoyed the park and boat trip here. We enjoyed lunch at Pusymas so much we had evening meal the next day here.
The Amber Gallery in Nida is definitely worth visiting. The staff were very knowledgable and gave personal touch to our visit.
Without going into any detail about the other places we visited they were all a worthwhile part of our journey.
The distance between places was manageable and driving conditions much better than back home. We found some of the road signs difficult to read, especially in the towns so a good map or sat nav would be useful.
The balance between travelling and time spent in places we visited was just right.
When we arrived at Turne in Silulai we discovered it was a Guest House rather than the Hotel of the same name but we opted to stay at Guest House as it had taken awhile to find it. We were leaving early next morning anyway.
My friend enjoyed the holiday very much, especially her memories of the different foods her Grandmother cooked for her as a child. She particularly enjoyed beetroot soup, potato pancakes, coleslaw and apple fritters. We both developed a liking for krupnikas with our coffee after dinner!
We now have hundreds of photos and video footage to edit! Lots of happy memories.
Thank you for all your help and advice in putting together this special holiday for us. We would definitely recommend your company to our friends and relatives when travelling to the Baltics.
Thanks, once again for all your help in making it such a memorable trip.

Hi Daina,
we have returned home after a truly wonderful tour. We want to thank you once again for all of your care and attention which resulted in us having a great time. It was a small group and surprisingly there were two other australian couples who had booked with you. The guides we had with Baltic vision were first class and the accommodation very good indeed. As it happened we were the only people left on the group going on to moscow from st petersburg so we had hands on care. We were able to spend our last day in London amid the buzz off the para games and managed a ride on the london eye.
Thank you once again, John & Sue
