Planning your Lithuania trip
Best time to go: Summer averages 16°C but has the most rain. Spring is the driest season. Winter averages -5°C, with snow and sleet. Bring warm clothes and waterproof clothing at any time of year.
- Vilnius Old TownExplore a partly pedestrianised historic district with churches, the university quarter, a cathedral and a castle. It is recognised by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization as a World Heritage Site.
- UžupisThis artistic district in eastern Vilnius playfully declares itself an independent republic.
- Trakai Island CastleIts red towers and waterside setting make it one of the country's most attractive castles.
- Curonian Spit and Hill of WitchesA short ferry ride from Klaipėda reaches this long strip of dunes and forest. Near Juodkrantė, wooden sculptures illustrate local stories and legends.
Scams to watch for in Lithuania
- Theft in crowds or of unattended belongingsMoney or valuables can be stolen when they are left unattended, displayed openly or poorly watched in a crowd. No specific distraction method is described.
- Higher fares for street-hailed taxisA taxi taken from the street may charge more than one booked by phone or app. In Vilnius, the fare may be twice as much. A longer route alone does not prove a scam: city traffic restrictions can require detours.
- Street sales and donation approachesStrangers may approach visitors to sell something or ask for donations. These approaches are flagged as a reason for caution, but no specific false story, payment trick or theft method is described.
