Lithuania Trips & Holidays
(5/5)
based on 54 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 Daina,
I thoroughly enjoyed my Baltic trip which was well organised with a great guide: Janis Liekmanis.
I think the highlights were the visits to the capital cities and therefore I would have liked more time in Vilnius. I enjoyed the visits to the lesser visited parts of Latvia and Janis was excellent in explaining the economic consequences of the withdrawal of Russian capital but found that really wasn't enough to see to justify the two days travel. I realise that it would be difficult to travel such distances in much less time but maybe having two drivers could help.
I came home with a much better understanding of the geography, languages, culture and politics of the Baltic States.
Best wishes,
Margaret

Good afternoon Daina
Firstly, congratulations to you on Baltic Travel Company’s 20 year anniversary!
Steve and I both had an amazing trip to the Baltics and it certainly fulfilled my life long dream of visiting my ancestral homeland.
Vilnius old town was delightful as was the Lithuanian dinner we attended with authentic cuisine.
Inga; our Latvian tour guide made the trip extra special for me as I was able to truly identify with her passion and knowledge of Latvia, its people and history of conflict.
For me, Riga Doms Cathedral was magical as we opted to go to the Organ Recital. My mum was confirmed in this Church in 1938 and I brought an original black & white photo of this event with me. Seeing the Freedom Monument was also very special
For Steve, he loved our visit to the Ethnographical Museum and the authentic Latvian lunch on site. He also thoroughly enjoyed the Organ concert & the excellent Organist Ilze.
We loved both Jurmala & Parnu resorts and not only was Tallin beautiful our room at the Radisson Olumpia on the 21st floor was stunning.
We both want to thank you so much for your kind attention in helping us plan this very special holiday.
Denmark is next on my bucket list!! ??
I will forward some photos to you as well.
Best, Ingrid

Hi Daina
We had a wonderful time, thank you. Everything went like clockwork re the support on the bikes and moving of luggage! I thought the mix of different places we visited on our bikes was very good and probably unusual for a tourist trip - also the order we saw them in was great. Arriving in Nida by boat was one highlight. Also, walking up to the dead dunes.
Btw we were told that hardly anyone had booked on the self-guided trip, as the Germans are a bit nervous about proximity to Russia, but we felt safe. We got quite a personal service as we were the only two on the midweek tour - us!
Hotels were good. The one in Nida was slightly more basic in terms of the room (no cushions, for example, and very small beds), but the food was good and the staff very helpful.
Best wishes

Hi Daina,
We've been home 12 days now and thoroughly enjoyed our Baltic tour.
All three capital cities had lovely old centres and the guided walking tours round all of them were excellent.
Tallinn is lovely, but a bit crowded with tour groups everywhere, so perhaps we enjoyed Riga and Vilnius even more.
The coach journeys between cities were comfortable and we had an excellent driver.
Also, we were lucky with the weather - shorts and sandals on two or three days and very little rain.
Our main tour group organiser, Leons, was great - well organised, extremely knowledgeable and gave us many insights into the culture, history and politics of the Baltic states.
Thanks for your help organising our holiday,
John

Many thanks Daina
We had a great trip-amazing weather,good accommodation and an excellent knowledgeable Guide. & good company -not a difficult person in the group -as can so often happen when strangers come together.
All the cities were superb but I do have a weakness for Art Nouveau -so Riga stands out for me.
Thank you so much for all your help-you and your team. I'm off camping in Suffolk this week-a different experience-it would be wonderful if the weather matched our trip!
Best Wishes
Sue
