Lithuania Trips & Holidays
(5/5)
based on 43 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.

Dear Inga
We are back and I am pleased to say that all your planning worked perfectly. The guides were excellent, the hotels as good as could reasonably be expected and we enjoyed our tour very much.
If it were useful I can give you detailed feedback in particular on the degree of accessibility we found for wheelchairs in each location. It is obvious that at the moment there is very patchy provision for wheelchairs. Museums were bad in Riga and churches in Tallinn. Overall Vilnius was the best city.
It was very difficult to find public disabled toilets in Riga, only one in the whole old city.
As for our next trip, I am interested in a tour to northern Pomerania in Poland, former Prussia, where my wife's family come from. I have researched this area for many years and known the names of places that her ancestors lived in for over 300 years.
Best wishes
Roger

I just wanted to thank you very much for organising a terrific trip for Don and I through the Baltic Region.
All your arranging worked extremely well, with all transfers being on time, friendly and efficient.
The hotels we stayed in offered a variety of styles and all clean, central and a pleasure to be in.
Our guides were friendly and shared their wealth of knowledge of the area with us.
If you could pass on our thanks to the people involved that would be appreciated and a special thanks to yourself.
Don and I are now back home in Australia and have already recommended your company to a few people.
Kind Regards
from Jenny and Don

We’d just like to say how much we enjoyed our recent tour of the Baltic States and to thank you for your help. It was very nice to be able to pick up the phone and deal direct with an actual person. We also very much apprectiated your checking us in for our Easyjet flights.
All the arrangements at the other end worked smoothly (except for our very first taxi transfer from th airport - he was stuck in traffic or something), the hotels were nice and the guides very good and informative. Everything was as we’d been led to expect when booking, and in the itinerary. It was useful that we didn’t have to make up our mind about the optional trips at the start of the holiday, but could book them nearer the day they were due to take place.
We filled in the questionnaire that Baltic Vision asked us to complete before leaving Tallinn, but we thought we’d like to thank the office at the London end too.
Best wishes,
Mr & Mrs Death

Just to let you know everything went smoothly on our trip to Vilnius, and we had a lovely time.
The hotel and people were very friendly and helpful and we especially enjoyed the trip to Trakei.
Thanks for your help, regards Elaine
