Lithuania's capital Vilnius is an ideal destination for a weekend break. The city is packed with beautiful churches and monuments with famous sights including Gediminas Tower, the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania, Vilnius Cathedral and the Gates of Dawn. Even though Vilnius is one of Europe's cheaper capital cities, that doesn't mean you have to compromise on quality as there are a wide range of 4 and 5-star hotels offering very high levels of service at a price lower than you might expect.
During your trip to Lithuania, why not try out the local cuisine at one Vilnius's fantastic restaurants and bars. Here you can sample all the local delicacies such as cepelinai (stuffed potato dumplings), šaltibaršciai (a refreshing, chilled beetroot soup eaten in summer) and, of course, a fine selection of locally produced Lithuanian beers.
You can also choose to extend your trip to Vilnius with visits to some of the other beautiful sites and cities in the small, yet diverse country of Lithuania. You can visit the majestic medieval castle Trakai, the sandy beaches on the Curonian Spit, the spas of Druskininkai or Lithuania's second largest city Kaunas.
For an enjoyable, weekend break at good value for money, Lithuania is an excellent choice!
