Tips

If you have extra time, consider extending your stay by a day to visit the Kernavė Archaeological Site or explore the coastal city of Klaipėda. To shorten the trip, combine Day 5 and Day 6 by focusing on either Užupis or the nature parks, and replace the Hill of Crosses visit with a quick city‑center walk, which will still give you a rich taste of Lithuanian culture.
