Lithuania's historical and cultural attractions, its old medieval towns, its rich nature and the people who live there. Lithuania has the longest history as a country of the Baltic States, and during the Polish-Lithuanian Grand Duchy it boasted the largest territory in Europe. A visit to the old town of Vilnius, the capital, or the Trakai Castle on the lake will give you a sense of its long history. Lithuania is also a beautiful country with 3,000 lakes, ancient forests and World Heritage-listed sandbars on the Baltic Sea coast, where amber is harvested. Experience the traditional culture of Lithuanian life in one of the more than 600 'homesteads' or in a Lithuanian-style sauna 'pyrtis'. Lithuania and Japan also have a special connection in the form of Chiune Sugihara, famous for his 'Visa for Life'.

We invite you to visit Lithuania.
