Planning to visit Lithuania? Here are some best tips:
Which cities to visit in Lithuania?
Vilnius it is the biggest, most vibrant, most international and the most cool. You can just explore everything, eat at restaurants, go to clubs, enjoy water amusement park, find cool sights – everything is mostly in the walking distance. However, after 4 days you might get bored, so try some other nearby cities with sceneries, like Trakai (25 miles away). You can also visit a remote SPA town Druskininkai (80 miles away). In summer you can visit Palanga (206 miles away) – a seaside town with a nightlife, also some smaller seaside towns with sceneries – Nida (an upscale resort for riches, 220 miles away) or Šventoji (213 miles away, known for wide sandy beach and a great safety at night).
Where to buy groceries in Lithuania?
RIMI and IKI are the most western and the most nicely looking grocery store chains. MAXIMA offers the widest choice, however, it is often crowded. NORFA and LIDL offer a nice value for money.

What to order in a restaurant in Lithuania?
In any eating place it is best to order steaks (Lithuanian "Kepsnys"), also dishes from chicken or pizzas – you will get the least amount of unwanted surprises if you order them.
However, in Lithuania sometimes they serve dishes with mushroom dressings or pizzas with mushrooms – it might look weird. Before ordering, ask whether it includes mushrooms or not, also you can ask a waiter not to add the sauce (sometimes it contains mushrooms), or you may ask for a ketchup instead.
