Popular places in Lithuania
Klaipeda
This port city in Lithuania is an ideal relaxing getaway. Hear the gentle chime of boats pulling in, the tranquil sound of water splashing against stone and the hum of chatter all around you.
Although not the first tourist destination many will think of in Lithuania, Klaipeda is charming in its peacefulness.

Whether it's strolling along the canal, dolphin sightings, or cosy cafes, Klaipeda is the perfect Lithuanian destination that gives you an authentic experience of the country.

Lithuania has a large Roman Catholic population, with around 77% of its people being part of the catholic denomination. Because of this, there are many beautiful churches and important religious sites in the country. One of the most well-known is the Hill of Crosses.
This is a pilgrimage location for Catholics both in Lithuania and across the globe. More than 100,000 crosses stand on this hill in northern Lithuania, and if you decide to visit, you can leave your own. For many, this practice is a demonstration of unification, belief and commemoration for those gone.
Those who aren't religious are still welcome to visit this awe-inspiring display of faith, arrayed in wooden and iron crosses.
To visit the Hill of Crosses, it is best to arrive at Palanga International Airport (PLQ) and then drive for a little over 2 hours.
The island castle in Trakai is one of Lithuania's most popular day trips and is a must-see for anyone visiting the country.
The 14th-century castle is a magnificent display of Lithuania's history and Gothic architecture.

Inside the castle, you will find a museum with information about the castle and Lithuania's fascinating history.
Vilnius International Airport (VNO) is the closest airport to the castle, just under 40 minutes away by car.
