We have 4 major cities, and out of the 4 of them only 2 ever felt relevant, Kaunas and Vilnius, Vilnius seeming significantly more relevant. Aand.. that trend seems to be continuing, so.. I don't predict any major relevancy flips
How is Vilnius as a city? Would you recommend visiting it?
It's way too expensive, and the traffic is terrible, as it usually goes with european capitals lol :3.. fine for a visit tho. Kinda depends on what type of stuff you enjoy - the old town gets a decent bit of tourism for the architecture, and there's some museums and stuff, but it's nothing special in terms of european cities imo.. maybe less crowded than some of the ones in more famous countries
Where would you recommend for someone visiting Lithuania? I'd like to spend a bit of time looking around there, Latvia, and Estonia one day if I am able
Really depends on what kind of stuff you want to see tbh :3
The curonian spit is cool, there's some sand dunes there (but also quite expensive), vilnius has a very large old town with a bunch of churches and museums (and being close by trakai, which has a nice island castle :3), kaunas has some cool art deco buildings etc.
If you're heading to latvia in the same trip I suppose you would go either through zarasai, panevėžys, šiauliai, or along the coast if you go by car, all of them have some nice spots. Šiauliai had the hill of crosses which is quite famous :3. Generally tho I think most of the stuff here can be seen in a day, so if you have the time I'd say probably stop by a few cities lol (vilnius and trakai, kaunas, and then klaipėda and the curonian spit)
Thank you! I'll read up on the things you've mentioned. I sadly do not have travel planned any time soon, but it's always nice to dream
Thank you!
