Despite its small size, Lithuania certainly packs a punch. The southernmost of the Baltic states is renowned for its distinct seasons, all of which paint the country’s landscape in different shades and fill the senses with joy. It’s not just the scenery that inspires though; since becoming independent from the Soviet Union in 1990, a melting pot of contrasting architectural styles reflects how the country has evolved over the years.
Capital Vilnius is known for its rich history, picturesque Old Town, and unique blend of Eastern and Western cultures. Explore cobblestone streets brimming with ancient churches and soviet relics, or take in the magnificent panorama offered from the heights of Gediminas’ Hill. The National Museum of Lithuania features authentic exhibits that showcase the traditional customs of the country, including the homemade fabrics and clothing worn by Lithuanians, and the weaving techniques, colour combinations and specialist patterns used to create them.
Join us on a fascinating Stitchtopia holiday and combine Lithuania’s textile history with the sights and sounds of remarkable Vilnius.
