Lithuania Guided Tours and Vacation Packages
DISCOVER OUR LITHUANIA TOURS AND TRAVEL GUIDE
Visit Trakai Castle, Trakai National Park, capital Vilnius City, UNESCO listed sites and more.
As a country that’s been both one of the largest states in Europe and one of the many annexed areas of the former USSR, Lithuania is a place where locals are proud of their independence, heritage, and contemporary ways of life. Our Lithuania guided tours offer an introduction to the history and culture via the gateway of Vilnius.
Visit Lithuania’s capital city and wander the streets with a local expert. This city, larger in size than Paris and Amsterdam but with far fewer people, is a mix of Gothic, Baroque, and Soviet-era architecture. See the neoclassical Church of St. Peter and St. Paul then spot other landmarks in Old Town. Walk across a wooden footbridge to the 15th century Trakai castle on an island in Lake Galvė.
You’ll also visit Užupis, a bohemian community of artists, then settle in for a dinner with local Lithuania foods like dumplings, borscht, and stuffed cabbage.

What to Eat in Lithuania
Premium Dining on Every Tour
The Baltic Sea, a cold climate, and significant influence from Russia and Poland finds Lithuania cuisine based around root vegetables and meats. Lithuania food like cold beet soup and cepelinai heavily feature potatoes and are meant to keep you full.
Dumplings are common across the region and naturally a staple Lithuania dish. Cepelinai, named for their zeppelin-like shape, are pork and potato filled dough balls in a sour cream sauce.
Taking a page from their Polish neighbour’s recipe book, varškėčiai is a variation of Poland’s curds. This small, circular curds are a great balance of crispy texture and soft taste.
Balandėliai, Lithuanian stuffed cabbage, is a home cooked favourite. No frills are needed for this Lithuania dish to shine: minced meat, rice, and onion, plus sour cream, do the talking.

Did You Know?
Lithuania was once Europe’s largest state.
Lithuania seems like a relatively small-sized country today, but it was once the largest state in Europe. Alliances and the invasion of surrounding land greatly expanded the country’s borders by the 15th century. It then became the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, creating an even larger dual-state that existed until nearly 1800. However, the next 200 years would see its border and name rewritten constantly until the country finally regained its full independence in 1993.
