About Lithuania
Lithuania is the southernmost of the three Baltic states, with Vilnius as its capital and a history that reaches deep into medieval Europe. It joined the European Union in 2004 and adopted the euro in 2015. In the Middle Ages, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was among the largest states in Europe, and its legacy remains visible in the old town of Vilnius, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The capital is known for its baroque churches, cobblestone streets, and lively arts scene. Beyond the city, Lithuania offers forests, lakes, and a long Baltic coastline with sand dunes such as those at the Curonian Spit. Its rich folk traditions, amber jewelry, and welcoming atmosphere make Lithuania an appealing destination for travelers.
