Lithuania spans the Baltic region with distinct landscapes: the Curonian Spit's sand dunes and pine forests in the west, the Nemunas River valley cutting through central plains, and the Aukštaitija highlands in the northeast with over 2,000 lakes. Vilnius's Old Town features Gothic and Baroque architecture within medieval walls. Travelers visit Kaunas for its interwar modernist buildings, Trakai for its island castle surrounded by lakes, and the Hill of Crosses near Šiauliai. The Baltic coast includes Palanga's pier and beach resorts. Food centers on rye bread, potato dishes (cepelinai), and dairy products. Amber shops line tourist areas. Forests cover one-third of the country, accessible via hiking and cycling routes.
