Our top experiences in Lithuania
Try traditional kibinai pasties in Trakai
The historic city of Trakai is famous for its red brick castle, quaint lakeside location and charming wooden houses – but it’s the tasty local pastries that have us coming back for more! Filled with mutton and onions, traditional kibinai are often likened to Cornish pasties. Judge for yourself as we tuck into a few on our Highlights of the Baltics tour.
Sample local beers on a brewery tour
One of the many stops on Lithuania’s ‘Beer Road’, it wouldn’t seem right to pass through the sleepy town of Birzai without pausing to appreciate its delicious range of local beers. After learning about the area’s traditional brewing techniques, we’ll have the chance to try a pint or two of the good stuff.
