Trakai Castle | Instagram Spots in Vilnius Lithuania

Lithuania

Lithuania may be a small country in the Baltics but it’s packed full of exciting destinations to uncover. Most people only visit Vilnius with the iconic Gediminas Tower and Užupis Republic. Don’t make this mistake. I would encourage you to visit the fairytale Trakai Castle and the bohemian city of Kaunas full of colourful street art. It’s a highly underrated destination in Europe and you won’t regret a thing by visiting. Let’s start planning that trip!

Things to know before visiting Lithuania

  1. If you’re from Europe, you do not need a visa to travel to Lithuania for up to 90 days.
  2. Don’t just visit the capital of Vilnius. I would recommend heading out to other beautiful places like Trakai and Kaunas.
  3. Lithuania is a very safe country to visit with a low crime rate. I travelled solo here and faced no issues.
  4. You can easily book trains to travel around Lithuania using their website LTG link.
  5. If you’re visiting for winter or Christmas season wrap up as the bitter Baltic winds can be brutal.
