Overview

Embark on a beautiful week in Lithuania, the picturesque land with 800-year-old statehood, ancient Baltic language, medieval castles, and impressive Gothic and Baroque Catholic churches.

Washed by the waves of the Baltic Sea, lined by sand beaches and coastal dunes, and dotted by thousands of lakes; Lithuania is a country of amber, as a national jewel and so much more.

You'll enjoy a comfortable trip with the private driver who will take you to the major highlights of Lithuania. Local guides will lead you through Lithuanian history and explain to you why Lithuania is called the land of amber.
