Lithuania
Lithuania’s cultural roots stretch from medieval castles to lively cities, framed by lakes, forests, and the Baltic shore.
Overview
Lithuanian is the language of Vilnius and Kaunas, cities shaped by Catholic heritage and a history as part of influential European unions. The euro is the currency, and daily life often connects to lakes, the Curonian Spit, and a coastline dotted with resort towns. Regional contrasts and a distinct Baltic identity define the social fabric.
