★ Ha una sua storia della città
A baroque capital, an island castle, the dunes of the Curonian Spit and one of the oldest languages of Europe.
Lithuania was once the largest country in Europe, the Grand Duchy that reached from the Baltic to the Black Sea. Its language is one of the oldest living Indo-European languages, close to Sanskrit. Walk the baroque old town of Vilnius, cross the bridge to Trakai Island Castle, see the dreamlike paintings of Čiurlionis in Kaunas and the dunes of the Curonian Spit. Plan your museum days on museumtickets.com, then try cepelinai and the pink cold soup of summer.
