Popular cities and resorts
Vilnius
The capital of Lithuania with one of the most beautiful Old Towns in Europe. Gediminas Tower with a city panorama, the Gates of Dawn with its miraculous icon, the Church of St. Anne, and the bohemian Uzupis district — the "Lithuanian Montmartre" with its own constitution. Flights from Almaty arrive at Vilnius Airport.
Kaunas
Lithuania's second city at the confluence of the Nemunas and Neris rivers. Kaunas Castle, Laisves Avenue with its interwar Art Deco architecture, and the Ciurlionis Museum — dedicated to the Lithuanian genius of painting and music. Kaunas held the title of European Capital of Culture and is full of creative energy.
Klaipeda
A port city on the Baltic and the gateway to the Curonian Spit. Half-timbered houses of the Old Town, Theatre Square with the "Anke from Tarau" fountain, and the clock museum. From Klaipeda, a 5-minute ferry takes you to the Curonian Spit — the gem of the Lithuanian coast.
Trakai
The historical capital of Lithuania with a majestic island castle in the middle of Lake Galve. The 14th-century red-brick castle against a backdrop of blue lakes is the country's most photogenic landmark. Trakai is home to the Karaim — a unique Turkic community with their own cuisine, including the famous kibinai pies.
When to go
The best time to visit Lithuania is from May to September. In summer +20...+27 °C, with long days and festivals. The Baltic swimming season runs July-August. Spring delights with Vilnius's blossoming parks, while autumn offers golden forests. Christmas Vilnius with one of Europe's most beautiful trees is a magical sight.
