Hi, you probably know nothing about this country, but that is O.K. It’s a small country with 3.5 million people, another 300000 is somewhere in other countries. Though Lithuania is a small country we are proud of our traditions, capability to keep our language unique and other things. Also we are happy to join NATO, and ES. Such event gives us self- confidence and the world is beginning to know what the word Lithuania means. I think that LT is a great place for sightseeing and for spending your holidays. Let me describe you same places that you should visit, if you are in Lithuania.
First and one of the most famous is the Park of Europe (near Vilnius). Here you can find lots of works of art. They are really very interesting each of it has its own story and a reason of its appearance. The
main work of art is the labyrinth made of TV sets that all Lithuania people brought there 5 or 6 years ago. It looks really amazing and there is even a possibility to get lost (besides it is written in the worlds Guineas records book like the biggest labyrinth of TV sets). It would be a shame if you wouldn’t visit the center of the Europe. It is not very interesting, just monument with written coordinates on it, but it is still geographic CENTER OF EUROPE.
Another interesting place you have to see is the crosses hill near town Šiauliai. The hill is like a symbol of faith and the being of people. From the old times it was famous for its sacramentality . There you can see thausands of crosses in one place. Many people tryed to count how many are there, but nobody had ever succed. You can put or hang a your own little cross too.
Vilnius is the capital of Lithuania. Its old town looks really amazing. It is full of various muzeums and churches. The main church is the central Vilnius cathedral in the center of city hall. Another famous museum-place is Gediminas Castle. The castel was destroyed in the past and now jus one tower left. But it symbolizes the whole castle and looks amazing.
Moving to other cities I would like to mention Kaunas and Klaipėda. Kaunas is the place where I live. People say that it is a best place for living. And it is rally peaceful, people are nice and plesant in here, here you can find a beutiful city hall with grand cathedral ( in my opinion it is more amazing than in Vilnius). Klaipėda is the biggest, the most beutiful, and the only one harbour . Personally Klaipeda‘s old town is the most wonderful comparing with Kaunas and Vilnius old towns.
The best part of Lithuania is its west. Lithuania hass 100 km. coastline near the Baltic sea. The main resort is Palanga. Here you can sea thousands of people, sometimes Palanga is called Summer capital. The most beutiful creation of nature that Lithuanians can be proud of is the peninsula NERINGA. It starts from the Kaliningradas (Russia) and ends like a part of Lithuania. The main resort is Nida but there also are Juodkrante, Smiltyne, Purvyne... You have no Idea how picturesque, beutiful and amazing the scenery is. Look around and you will see what creative nature can be. The forest of pines that lasts over all Neringa, Kuršių sea on one side, and The Baltic sea on the other side. There are also lots of unique plants that grows just in Neringa. If you‘ve been dreaming about spending your holidays by savouring the unforgettable charm of the dunes during the sunest. If you dream about hearing the play in pinewoods. If you want to visit culture events. Or, even, get acquainted with unique architecture. And, certainly, taste traditional fresh fish courses. Choose Neringa - the unforgettable corner of the Baltic region for those who love spending their leisure time safely in nature and having fun. Here, there are the most of sunny days in the year ( for some reason clowds bypass Neringa and it rains there rarely).My advice: if you want to have a quite and pieceful holiday go to Neringa in Autumn, there are very few people at that time of year. www.visitneringa.lt
That is just a small part of lithuania, there are much more, but I hope that I‘ve described you the main places.

Really liked your review - you're really proud of LT, i can tell!! I stayed in Kaunas myself for one night recently, spent a little time in Vilnius on my way to Minsk. I did like your review, you should do one just on Kaunas so next time i visit I'll know all the best places to see.
