Reisgids Lithuania - Bradt Travel Guides
Productomschrijving: This updated Bradt Lithuania Guidebook remains the only full-length standalone guide to the largest and southernmost of the three Baltic states. Insider insights and intimate depictions – from authors steeped in the country’s tourism industry since 2000 – characterise this new guidebook to an exciting, relatively under-the-radar destination.
The old town of Vilnius (the capital, where grand Gothic and Baroque façades line cobbled streets), the second city Kaunas and the UNESCO-listed Lithuanian coast (the Curonian Spit, with its traditional fishing villages amid fragile sand-dune ecosystems) are the eye candy that attract international visitors. Behind these main sights is a patchwork of unspoilt rolling landscapes, wholesome village life, crafts, traditions and scars from a brutal Soviet occupation.
Upon these elements are layered the youthful energy, new technologies and quirky artistic expression that create the vibrant spirit leading Lithuania into a new era. Lithuania is a year-round destination with four distinct seasons: feel spring’s vitality when wandering amid wildflower-rich meadows; soak up summer vibes at the seaside; forage through autumnal forests; or crunch through crisp snow in old town streets. To get the best out of your stay, track down your interests locally. Rural heritage provides a strong identity and community here. If you visit a national park, attend an immersive crafts workshop, hike through the forests or visit wooden villages with their church-nesting storks.
Foodies should not simply eat in the best restaurant in Vilnius, but attend a cookery class or lunch in a village tavern where not only is food how grandma cooks it but you will probably meet grandma. Deepen your understanding of this fascinating country by visiting Plokstine’s secret Soviet missile base (which now houses a Cold War museum) or the Hill of Crosses pilgrimage site (a national symbol of Lithuania’s resistance against foreign occupation).
Stay in spa resorts in Druskininkai, Birstonas or Palanga, where Soviet sanatoriums have been replaced by indulgent wellness centres.
Canoe around Trakai Castle then book a traditional ‘Kibinai’ cookery workshop with the Karaite ethnic community.
