Travelling to Lituânia: what to know before you go

Lithuania, the southernmost of the Baltic states, has one of Europe's largest baroque old towns in Vilnius, a lake-dotted countryside and the shifting dunes of the Curonian Spit on its short Baltic coast. It suits city-breakers, cyclists and road-trippers looking for history and nature at an easy pace.

Where to go

• Vilnius Old Town. The capital's UNESCO-listed old town is a maze of baroque churches, courtyards and cobbled lanes, from the Gates of Dawn chapel to Vilnius Cathedral and the hilltop Gediminas Tower.
• Užupis. An artists' quarter across the Vilnia river from the old town that declared itself a tongue-in-cheek independent republic in 1997.
• Trakai Island Castle. A red-brick Gothic castle on an island in Lake Galvė, about half an hour from Vilnius.
• Curonian Spit. A narrow sand spit between the Baltic Sea and the Curonian Lagoon, shared with Russia's Kaliningrad region and listed by UNESCO.

Best time to visit

Late May to early September brings the warmest weather and long evenings, the best time for the Curonian Spit, lakes and outdoor cafés. Midsummer around 24 June is celebrated with bonfires and singing across the country.

Staying online in Lituânia

Lithuania has some of the fastest mobile internet in Europe, with strong 4G and 5G in cities and good coverage along main roads and in most towns. Coverage can weaken deep in forests, on lakes in Aukštaitija and in parts of the Curonian Spit, where networks near the Russian border may also behave unpredictably. Free Wi-Fi is common in cafés, hotels and public spaces in Vilnius. EU visitors can usually roam on their home plan; others should install an eSIM before they fly and switch it on when they land.
