Lonely Planet 💬 #Lithuania is the unsung star of the #Baltics. With a wealth of baroque and art deco architecture, sobering relics of a Soviet past, a thriving, ever-evolving dining scene and ample natural attractions, the country delivers something for every traveler.
Its rich history goes back millennia – and in spite its ever-changing borders over the years, including by its forcible incorporation into the USSR, Lithuania 🇱🇹 has always managed to hold true to its language, culture and national character.
Even today, traditional villages, where crops are still gathered by hand and artisans practice crafts honed over centuries, thrive alongside cosmopolitan cities. Lithuania’s dense forests 🌲 attract numerous foragers, while the Baltic Sea draws sun worshippers to the amber-speckled coast.
