8 days in Lithuania Itinerary

The capital of Lithuania, Vilnius, boasts an impressive medieval quarter--one of the continent's largest and a World Heritage Site with almost 2,000 historical buildings.

Visiting Surininku Namai (Cheesemakers home) and Kernave Mounds will get you outdoors. Let the collections at Gediminas Castle Tower and KGB Museum (Genocido Auku Muziejus) capture your imagination. Explore Vilnius' surroundings by going to Capitals Golf Club (in Elektrenai), Trakai Island Castle Museum (in Trakai) and Paluses Valtine (in Paluse). And it doesn't end there: wander the streets of Vilnius Old Town, examine the collection at Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania, National Museum, take in the spiritual surroundings of Gates of Dawn (Ausros Vartai), and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Vilniaus staciatikiu Sventosios Dvasios vienuolynas.
