Lithuania Holidays

Journey to the centre of Europe and discover the secrets of the southernmost country in the Baltic states with one of our trips to Lithuania. A former Soviet bloc nation lying on the border of Poland, Latvia and Belarus, the nation has a rich and storied history. This is a place of wonder, with castles, lakes and forests; vast plains parted by hills; and sand dunes along the Baltic shore. Meanwhile, the towns are full of eccentric shops and bohemian galleries.

On Lithuania holidays, adventurers can hike or cycle the countryside around the Curonian Lagoon, or take a boat trip in Trakai Historical National Park. Before you leave, don’t forget to try the national dish cepelinai (zeppelins) – meat and potato dumplings – and savour fresh-off-the-line seafood, all washed down with a glass of local midus, a type of honey mead.

Our Lithuania holidays offer you the chance to visit this beautiful Baltic nation, as well as some of its neighbours, encompassing attractions such as a trip to Kaunas, the Plokstine Cold War Museum, an overnight stay in Vilnius and the stunning pilgrimage site at the Hill of Crosses. Whatever takes your fancy, here at Exodus we’ll endeavour to make sure your Lithuania holiday is an unforgettable adventure.

Expert view: Lithuania holidays

From the seaside beach town of Palanga to the unusual UNESCO World Heritage-listed Curonian Spit sand dunes, known as the Lithuanian Sahara, and the dense green forests of the Ventė Cape, nature and wildlife are abundant on Lithuania tours.

“On a secluded island, just off the shores of tranquil Lake Galvė in Lithuania, stands the orange-hued castle of Trakai. Don’t be fooled by its quaint demeanour, though – Trakai Castle has a long history of intrigue and warfare, stretching back to the 14th century. After crossing the long footbridge to the castle proper, you’ll be greeted by majestic Eastern European architecture and a treasure trove of culture and history, just waiting to be discovered.”

I honestly had no idea what to expect when I booked this cycling trip, but wow – what an absolute gem! The route took us to charming medieval towns, along stunning coastlines, and through peaceful national parks, showing us a side of these countries you’d likely otherwise miss. The absolute highlight for me was cycling Lithuania’s Lake District, where we pedaled past gorgeous lakes and through pine forests, discovering adorable wooden villages that looked straight out of a storybook. The unexpected moments made it unforgettable – like when our guide insisted we try this tiny restaurant that only served dried fish (I was skeptical), but it turned out to be the best meal of the entire trip. Every evening, our small group would gather over wine and local beer, laughing about the day’s adventures. From the incredible old town of Tallinn to tucked-away fishing villages, every day brought something new to discover, while the thoughtfully planned routes made the journey challenging yet incredibly rewarding. If you’re on the fence about this trip, just book it.

Mandy Liebig Cycle the Baltics

This is my 8th Exodus trip since 2017. I appreciate the variety in the cultural tours, such as Discover the Baltics. Over the 12-day period, we visited all three capitals of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, explored historic towns (Tartu, Kaunas, Cesis, and Klaipeda), learned about architecture (Art Nouveau in Riga and Jarmala), trekked in national parks, visited famous churches, took a crash course on Soviet occupation at famous museums, and enjoyed free time to explore on our own. The pace is brisk. Be prepared to board your bus at 9 am each day to begin your tour. There are several long days on the bus as we typically visited two venues. I highly recommend this tour.

Exodus should replace two of the hotels used. They were poor. I did not like being assigned a tiny room with a twin bed.
