Lithuania will offer you an interesting mix of challenges and possibilities. Everything is possible if you just make an effort.
Lithuania has its own traditions and culture, however, like anywhere else in the world that is now increasingly influenced by the global trend of modernisation. Along with it come fast food, new trends and fashion, music from Billboards and movies from Hollywood. Nevertheless, you will still get an amazing tingling feeling when you walk in the old town, you will have to pinch your self to understand that you are not in a postcard. The shops that you will pass by will be a nice traditional mix of amber, linen and Lithuanian food, mixed with modern shops that will offer you things you will be able to find anywhere else in Europe.
Vilnius is actually the cultural capital city of Europe in 2009. So, there is plenty of stuff to do when you have some time of. All the cities are full happenings and cultural events, the trick is to find out about it. Except from cultural happenings, you will find shopping centres that will offer you all kinds of shops, services and fun stuff like bowling, ice-skating, go-carting or just the god old movie theatre.
If you are more of an outside person, the nature of Lithuania will give you everything in between beauty, peace and excitement. The scenic landscape of Lithuania is flat and beautiful with thousands of rivers and lakes. Not to mention the lovely coast line by the Baltic Sea. The summer is the main time to enjoy this landscape with your family or friends. Grab your backpack, pack it lightly and jump on a bus or a train. Enjoy!
