Here are the top things to do on a Lithuania holiday, as chosen by our Europe specialists.
See the Hill of Crosses
The Hill of Crosses is a unique and strange sight, where a mound that was associated with worshipping ancestors in the pre-Christian era has been filled with crosses of remembrance. Today, thousands of crosses create a sight that reflects the Lithuanian character, combining profound Catholic piety with an appreciation for simple forms of folk art and the mysterious.
Explore the Curonian spit
The Curonian spit is a thin (as thin as 400m in parts), long (98km) sand-dune, shared between Lithuania and Russia and is a popular holiday resort with many outdoor activities on offer.
Visit Trakai Castle
Located on an island in Lake Galve, Trakai Castle is surrounded by beautiful scenery. Construction began in the 14th century and different phases of construction and restoration have been conducted over time.
