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.

Lithuania Do's and Don'ts

Here's a list of general customs and behaviours to be aware of when you visit Lithuania.

  • Don't engage in small talk with strangers — Of course, a lot of this depends on the person, but Lithuanians don't usually engage in small talk, especially with strangers (at least not as much as some other cultures).
  • Don't wear your shoes inside someone's home — If you're lucky enough to be invited into someone's house, take your shoes off to be respectful.
  • Don't shake hands over a threshold — This is considered bad luck in Lithuania.
