I’m at the airport waiting to go back to the states and thought I’d share about my experience in Vilnius for a week. This is also my first time in continental Europe. I don’t do much traveling, so this post is for the reluctant tourist like me.
It is a lovely country and people are friendly although may seem reserved to an American from the south. lol. If you give your best attempt to speak Lithuanian, even just formal greetings they really appreciate it.
We stayed in Old Town which is a great walkable area for someone visiting for the first time.
I bought some linen cloth and amber which are both produced here.
We did two Airbnb experiences— a cooking class and mushroom hunting. I highly recommend doing something like this because you get to meet locals!
We also did a tour of a bomb shelter built during the Cold War, which was really an informative experience.
I also finished the trip off going to a traditional spa which was amazing. I wish this was more common in the states, because I would go all the time.
I would love to go back someday! This has ignited the travel bug in me and I hope to start traveling more. 😎
