Reisinformatie: Lithuania

Once the largest country in Europe, stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea, the territory was split in 1795 by the Russian Empire.

In 1990, Lithuania was the first of the Soviet occupied republics to win independence and became an EU member in 2004. Rolling hills, thick forests and nearly 3000 lakes provide the perfect setting for watersports and other outdoor activities. For city culture, visit the beautiful Baroque old town of the capital, Vilnius, the numerous museums and art galleries of Kaunas or the spas, botanical gardens and famous beaches of Palanga.
