Back on the map since 1990, Lithuania still flies under the radar of most travelers. That might be why we like it. Unlike its Baltic neighbors with their coastal capitals, Lithuania relies on the charms of lovely Vilnius. Relatively small, Lithuania has a population of three million, with half a million living in Vilnius. Lithuania is a quaint, quirky, inviting destination for travel. With its northern latitude, Lithuania is best visited from late April to late-September. The mild summers are comfortable for travelers from colder climates. But visiting Lithuania is fun any time.
Lithuanian cuisine is similar to that of its neighbors, with a focus on pork, fish, vegetables, barley, berries, mushrooms, and dairy. Pickled vegetables are common, and soups are very popular, especially Saltibarsciai, a cold, sour beet soup popular in summer. Lithuania does feature some unusual dishes such as Sakotis, a large cake shaped like a Christmas tree, and Kibinai, a small pie typically filled with lamb and onion, introduced by Karaite Jews from Crimea (and a must-eat in Trakai). One of the symbols of Lithuanian cuisine is the Cepelinai (“Zeppelin,”) a giant blimp-shaped potato dumpling stuffed with meat or cheese, and garnished with fried onion and/or sour cream. Although Lithuanian food may seem heavy, the locals themselves have very low obesity rates, so they must be doing something right!
Beer is big in Lithuania, which is seeing a resurgence in local microbrews. Even a small kiosk will often have over 50 different cheap and tasty local beer brands. As in Estonia and Latvia, Gira (kvass), the non-alcoholic drink made from fermented bread, is popular, and sometimes flavored with fruit, berries, or birch sap. Lithuania has its own strong herbal varieties, sometimes produced with several dozen herbs. Entirely pumped from aquifers, Lithuania's tap water is among the cleanest in Europe, and safe to drink, although it doesn't taste as pleasant along the coast.
