Lithuania Trips & Holidays
(5/5)
based on 55 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.

We enjoyed the holiday very much, thanks. Riga and Tallinn in particular were exceptional. We enjoyed a number of really first class meals, including at Vincent's in Riga and restaurant Tchaikovsky in Tallinn.
Our guide in Riga, and who stayed with us until we reached Tallinn, was particularly good. She was a similar age to ourselves and, having lived through the Soviet occupation, was able to speak first hand about what life was like then which we found very interesting.
We will remember the Baltics with pleasure.
Kind regards

We just got home last night from our wonderful trip to Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland! We have been lucky enough to have traveled all around the world but this was the only trip where things worked perfectly. We were accustomed to queuing up for taxis at airports and feeling uneasy about whether the meter was fair, to accidentally taking the wrong bus, or to being disappointed because the hotel that looked so great on the internet did not look great in person. We have stayed in towns that literally closed down on Sundays and there had been no mention of that on-line. We ate dinner from a vending machine because no restaurants were open. Those glitches didn't ruin our trips - we just figured they were part of traveling. Now we know better! On the trip Baltic Travel arranged for us we were picked up at and delivered to every airport or bus by our own drivers. What a luxury! And in each city we enjoyed local tour guides arranged by Baltic Travel. We learned so much from them. The hotels were clean and beautiful and all were located within walking distance of art museums - something important to us, and they all served fabulous free breakfasts. We were traveling on my 70th birthday and the reception clerks all wished me a happy birthday and some hotels even had a treat waiting for me in our room! Everything was first class. We will definitely recommend you to our friends. We can't thank you enough for all the wonderful memories!
Very best wishes!

I have been meaning to contact you. We had a great time and loved the places we visited. Thank you for your support during the trip as contact with the in country rep wasn’t that easy unless you went on a lot of the excursions, which we didn’t as we like to do own thing, in our own time.
I would recommend the trip to others – in fact I already have.

We had a really good time, Daina. All the arrangements worked perfectly, the car transfers at each end, the hotels, the coaches, especially the three local guides and most especially the one based at Riga who came with us from Vilnius to Tallinn were all excellent. We would have forgone the diversion to see the Hill of Crosses, as we heard would most of the other guests, but that was our only downside.
We thank you and Baltic Travel for all your arrangements and we have no hesitation in recommending you.
Thank you.

We had a great holiday, the Hotels in Vilnuis and Tallinn were first class, the hotel in Riga could do with a bit of sprucing up.
All three local guides were very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.
The itinerary was just right, having included tours but then options of extra tours or time to do your own thing.
We had bed and breakfast and there was so much choice at each of the hotels then on an evening we found some lovely restaurants and had really good meals.
We have already recommended this holiday to friends and family.
Thanks
