LOCAL TRANSPORT
BUS
The bus network in Lithuania connects
all major regions and towns. Express
coaches usually go directly to the final
destination and are faster than ordinary
coaches. Tickets are available from the
ticket office in the bus station before departure,
or directly from the bus driver
on many routes. Fore more information,
see www.vilniustransport.lt
TAXI
Hail a taxi on the street or find one at a
designated standing area featuring the special
Taksi sign. Prices vary from 0.70Lt/km
to 1.50Lt/km. Tourists are advised to ask
about the rate before their journey. Avoid
cars without the Taksi sign.
To order a taxi by telephone call 118 or
1588.

The capital of Lithuania, Vilnius, is the
country’s largest and most beautiful city
and also one of the oldest cities in Europe.
Vilnius was built at the confluence of the
rivers Neris and Vilnia and is surrounded
by picturesque wooded hills.
According to the ancient legend, Grand
Duke Gediminas fell asleep tired after
hunting and had a dream that the Iron
Wolf standing on the hill was howling
extremely loudly. In the morning
Gediminas asked the pagan priest what
the dream meant. The priest’s answer
was “Build a city in the place where the
wolf was standing and the fame of the
city will spread around the world”. This
is how the city of Vilnius was founded.

First mentioned in historical documents
in 1323, the city’s subsequent history has
been as turbulent as the nation’s. Over
many centuries it has been repeatedly
plundered during wars, devastated by
many fires and has suffered numerous occupations.
Yet, the city managed to retain
its unique character as a northerly cultural
meeting point at the crossroads of Roman,
Byzantine, European and Eurasian worlds.
It is a place where the greatest architectural
styles of Europe - gothic, renaissance, baroque
and classical - stand side by side and
compliment each other.
The Old Town, covering 359 hectares
of the city has been designated by
UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Lakes and wonderful landscape surround
Trakai. Trakai Region covers
Trakai Historical National Park and
Aukštadvaris Regional Park.
Trakai Town started developing in the
18 th century as a state centre and was
first mentioned in 1337
At that time it became an important
political and administrative centre of
Lithuania. Trakai is considered to be the
birthplace of Grand Duke of Lithuania
Vytautas the Great. Trakai has two
– Peninsular and Island – castles.
The distinctive feature of Trakai is that
the town was built and preserved by people
of different nationalities: Karaites,
Tartars, Lithuanians, Russians and
Poles. Both Christian and Karaites communities
were granted separate self-government
- Magdebourg – rights. Trakai
lost its political significance in the 16 th
century. In the 17 th century the town
was plundered and burnt, the castles
were destroyed. The Island Castle was
rebuilt in the second half of the 20 th century.
Today it is a popular museum of
history. Different festivals and concerts
take place in the Island Castle during all
summer.

It is the only island defensive castle

throughout Eastern Europe. It stands
on one of the numerous islands in the
Lake Galvė. After the Battle of Žalgiris/
Grünwald the castle lost its defensive
significance. It was turned into a residence
of Lithuanian ruling nobility.
Later, the castle served as a prison. In the
17 th century the castle was desolated. In
the 20 th century it was rebuilt and now it
houses the Museum of History.

Kaunas is a city of very old and established
cultural traditions and a place
where generations of Lithuanian artists,
composers and writers lived and have
left their imprint. Their works are on
display in various museums and galleries,
of which two are especially notable.
The Art Gallery of M.K.Čiurlionis displays
the works of this great painter and
composer, who earned his place in the
history of art. The largest collection of
paintings is housed in a gallery dedicated
to M. Žilinskas, a man who in his lifetime
was a great patron of arts and donated
his private collections to his home
town Kaunas.

Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz and
Foreign Affairs minister of independent
Lithuania Juozas Urbšys. You can

Milosz or minister J. Urbšys once loved
to do. Different literary evenings, meetings,
conferences and exposition dedicated

The International Wood Carver’s
Symposium “Issa Valley” has been the
first artistic project in the newly established
conference and art projects centre
in the birthplace of Czeslaw Milosz. The
aim of the symposium was not only to
initiate cultural projects in this particular
place, but also to decorate the park
with the sculptures of the characters of
the novel “Issa Valley” by Cz. Milosz
and the directional pointers showing
the way to the Milosz’s birthplace for
tourists. This place has fascinated and
inspired many artists for creation.

Lithuania’s third largest city is located on
the narrow strait linking the Curonian
Lagoon to the Baltic Sea, and is vital to
Lithuania’s economy as the country’s
main seaport. As a gateway to a series of
breathtakingly beautiful sand dunes and
quaint fishing villages, Klaipėda is generally
used as a launch pad rather than
a final destination. From Klaipėda it is
easy to reach the small fishing villages of
Nida and Juodkrantė on the Curonian
Spit (Kuršių Nerija), or Palanga, a summer
resort town to the north.
Archaeological evidence reveals that the
Balts at one time densely populated the
area. From the 9 th century onwards,
Vikings from the north perpetually raided
these lands. From the 13 th century,
the site suffered invasions by German
feudal lords and the Teutonic Order.
After erecting the castle of Memelburg,
they used it to control the strait between
the mainland and the Curonian Spit. In
some years the developed town of Memel
(as Klaipėda was once known) was
granted similar rights to the Hanseatic
towns of Dortmund (1254) and Lubeck
(1258). In 1923, the Lithuanian government
seized the control of the Klaipėda
region from the French, and the region
was soon recognised as a part of
Lithuania.
Klaipėda has developed into a modern
city, with a peculiar Germanic Old
Town.

KLAIPĖDA DISTRICT
Administration centre: Gargždai (15,600
inhabitants)
District territory: 1,3359 sq km
District population: 46,000
Klaipėda District is located in Western
Lithuania – in a unique countryside famous
for its sandy Baltic seashore, the
Curonian Lagoon full of fish and the
Minija River. The district is noted for
a number of parks and reserves including
Seaside Regional Park, Veiviržis
Landscape and Ichtiological Reserve,
Minija Ichtiological and Minija Old-
Valley Landscape Reserves, Ablinga
Geomorphological Reserve, Lužija
Botanical Reserve, Svencelė Reserve of
Telmathium, and Kliošiai Landscape
Reserve. From a cultural perspective,
Klaipėda District has a dual nature
as it has two different ethnic backgrounds–
the heritage of ethnic culture
of Lithuania Minor (Lithuanians) and
Lithuania Proper (Lowlanders).
Nearby is the city of Klaipėda with
the only ice-free seaport in Lithuania.
One of the most beautiful rivers in the
Lowlands, the Minija, which is also the
right tributary of the Nemunas River,
crosses the district. Dreverna lies next to
the Channel of King Wilhelm (Klaipėda)
which was used in the past for navigation
from the Nemunas through the
Minija to Klaipėda to avoid the dangerous
Curonian Lagoon.
There are over 460 cultural properties,
3 lakes, 4 ponds and 17 mounds in the
district.
The first historical reference to Gargždai,
the administrative centre of the district,
can be found in the divisional statement
of the Livonian Order and Bishop of
Kuršas of 1253. In the 15 th –16 th centuries,
Gargždai hosted the manor of
the Lowland’s governors Kęstgailos. The
first customs house was established in
1510. In 1792, Gargždai was granted
the Magdeburg rights and coat of arms.
The first wooden Catholic church was
built around 1540. In the 19 th century,

the manor of Gargždai was governed
by landlord E. Rene and housed a large
library, a museum with antique collections,
and a valuable collection of china.
The park of the manor was one of the
best-designed parks of the English style
in the Lowlands.
Klaipėda District is a unique part of the
region of Western Lithuania, with the
potential for development of both new
and traditional businesses, also ecotourism.

The path is built in the old forest of the
Curonian Spit. Here you will find stands
with descriptions, drawings, and pictures
of plants. The pathway is1600m long.
THE CURONIAN SPIT
Bulvikis Horn
It is the widest spot of the Curonian
Spit (3,8 km). Before planting the great
dunes, Bulvikis Horn was growing fast:
during the period of 1837-1910, annually
it would lengthen in average by 7 m,
currently we have the reverse process –
the horn, being flushed by the Curonian
flow, is getting shorter. From this
horn, the panorama of the coasts of the
Curonian Lagoon opens, Ventė Horn is
seen. The lagoon between Bulvikis Horn
and Ventė Horn is more than 8 km
wide, and about 3 m deep.
Vecekrugo Dune
Vecekrugo (Ancient inn) Dune is the
highest (67,2 m.) dune of the Curonian
Spit, overgrown with solid hill pines.
Numerous dunes were planted with hill
pines, so preventing forests and settlements
from sanding.
Old Preila School
Preilos St 27, Preila
In 1849, the elementary school was
moved from sandbound Naujųjų Naglių
village to Preila. However, the building
of the school was under fire in 1902. A
new brick school, supposedly in the place
of an old school, was built in 1906.
Preila Ethnographic Cemetery of the
19 th -20 th Centuries
Original tombstones, typical of this region,
are still extant.
Karvaičiai Hill
The hill preserves the sandbound history
of a village of the Curonian Spit. Until
1797, it was Karvaičiai village – the
homeland of Liudvikas Gediminas Rėza,
folklorist, poet, and professor.
Monument to Liudvikas Rėza Near
Pervalka
Liudvikas Rėza (1776-1840 m.) was
the first to publish the famous poetry
work Metai (“TheYear”) by Kristijonas
Donelaitis, and his fables in 1825, also
the very first collection of Lithuanian
folksongs Dainos (“Songs”). The wooden
sculpture made by the Lithuanian folk
artist E. Jonušas was erected in 1979 on
Skirpstas Hill, near Pervalka settlement.
The Lighthouse of the Žirgai Horn
The lighthouse was built on the small
island in the Curonian Lagoon near
Pervalka in 1900. It was reconstructed
twice and operates until the present day.
The lighthouse can be reached by a boat,
and it is visible from the shore of the
Curonian Lagoon.
Cognitive Pathway in Naglių Nature
Reserve
The reserve covers an area of 1680 ha.
You can explore it on the 31 st km of the
road Smiltynė-Nida. A cognitive pedestrian
pathway is built at the car parking-lot.
If you chose to walk on it, you
would admire a remarkable landscape.
This reserve can be visited only walking
on this pathway.
View-point on Avino Hill
Probably the most beautiful panorama
in the Curonian Spit – Grey (Dead)
Dunes, which has been announced
Nagliai Strict Nature Reserve.
The Grey Heron and Cormorant
Colony in Juodkrantė
This is one of the largest and oldest Grey
Heron and Cormorant colonies, known
in Lithuania. On the edge of the colony,
an observation-point is built. Here you
will find brief information about the
breeding-grounds and birds.
Meilės slėnis (Valley of Love)
On the way to Juodkrantė, on the right
side of the road, you can find a small forest
ground – this is the Valley of Love.
Wooden barracks of the workers were
situated there in the 19 th – 20 th centuries.
People were shaping and planting a
protective sand hill. After the Prussian-
German War of 1870-1871, French
prisoners, who were doing dune fastening
work, were hutted here. Women
from the continent lived here as well.
They were planting forest. Their longing
for love gave the name to the valley
– therefore now it is called the Valley of
Love.
Monument to Soldiers of the Soviet
Army
The monument was put to soldiers who
were killed in January, 1945, during the
World War II. Authors of the monument
are P. Žadauskas and sculptor J.
Vertulis. They used the stone that was
lifted out from the bottom of the Lagoon
and weighed more than 30 t.
We are truly grateful to all the guests and
tourists for visiting the Curonian Spit.
Seeking to preserve its unique landscape,
we would kindly ask you to:
•not go down and climb up the slopes
of the dunes;
•visit the reserves only in for this purpose-made
spots;
•drive and park your vehicles only in in-
tended parking-lots;
•not put your tents and make a fire;
•not pick and destroy protected plants,
not intimidate the birds while breeding
and migration;
•not litter and leave glass containers in
the forest.

Palanga is summer and year-round travel
destination and pleasure resort.
In 1824 Palanga was purchased by the
Count Tiškevičius. Wishing to revive
the harbour, Tiškevičius built a bridge
to the sea. However the harbour was
soon buried and the bridge has been
used for walking. In 1987 the manor
house was constructed and picturesque
park was designed by the famous French
landscape designer E. Andre. Palanga

began to develop as a resort in the early
19 th century. Tourists were attracted by
the sun, the sea, and the magnificent
dunes. In Old Palanga you can still see
villas, which are left from the late 19 th
and early 20 th centuries. The neo-Gothic
Church of the Ascension of the Holy
Virgin Mary is an excellent example of
old Palanga architecture. Historical places
and natural and cultural monuments
are abundant in Palanga. It has become
a tradition for holiday-makers to climb
to the top of the Hill of Birutė, to stroll
along the picturesque paths of Botanical
Park, to watch the sunset every evening.

ŠILUTĖ DISTRICT
District territory: 1706 sq km
District population: 55,3 thous
Šilutė population: 21,5 thous
Location: Western Lithuania
Getting there: by bus from Klaipėda,
Kaunas, Vilnius, Kaliningrad
Distance Šilutė – Vilnius: 289km
Šilutė is located 45 km Southeast of
Klaipėda. Until 1923 it was under
German rule and was called Heydekrug.
Šilutė was formed from three villages
locaed halfway between Klaipeda and
Tilžė (Tilsit). In the 16 th century tradesmen
began clustering in the area, local
markets drew merchants from Klaipėda,
Tilžė and Konigsberg. When Klaipėda
railroad was completed in 1875, its
commerce with German cities expanded
considerably.
After centuries of German rule Šilute
was rejoined to Lithuania in 1923. It
prospered as a market town. A bilingual
culture and education was adopted in
that period. Two Lutheran Evangelical
churches and one Catholic Church respectively
served religious needs.
Rusnė is one of the oldest settlements
founded on the Nemunas delta in the
15 th century. The year 1419 is marked
on the weathercock on the tower
of Rusnė church. Rusnė is the only
Lithuanian town situated on an island.
Old fishermen traditions are revived in
the town, a traditional sailing boat of
Rusnė fishermen has been built according
to old drawings. A small church after
restoration, an old post office, a typical
fisherman’s farmstead, Uostadvaris lighthouse
(1876), and the first water-lifting
station(1907) can be recommended as
the places for sightseeing.
Ventės Cape is the farthest western
point of Šilutė District. A lighthouse at
the tip of the Cape has been operating
for more that 100 years (1863). In 1929
professor Tadas Ivanauskas established a
bird-ringing station in Ventė. The birds
caught in seven traps and ringed there
can later be discovered in Iran, Egypt,
and even in SAR. There is a museum in
Ventės Cape Ornithological Station.
The village of Mingė (Minija) – so called
Lithuanian Venice – is situated nearby
Ventės Cape at the Minija River. Mingė
is located on both banks of the river and
the only way to get to the other bank is
by boat.

the historians, Kretinga Castle stood
on the Ėgliškiai mound to the south of
the town on the left bank of the Danė

close to the Latvian border. The archeological
findings say that Apuolė settlement
is the oldest mentioned in written
sources about Lithuania (853).
Historical sources mention the name of
Skuodas for the first time in1253 as a part
of Kuršas territory. In 1572 Skuodas was
granted the rights of Magdeburg (right
to self-government). J. Chodkevičius
governed the town in the mean time.

by many merchants and visitors.
During the interwar period Skuodas was
the centre of region. It had a shoe factory
Kontinent, famous for its excellent
production and a mill with an electric
power plant.
During the World War II, the town was
largely destroyed. Only the Evangelic-
Lutheran Church, built in 1821, and
the Catholic Church, built in 1850,
have been preserved. Many Jews lived
in Skuodas before the World War II.
They worked in trade and handicrafts.
In 1950 Skuodas became the administrative
centre of the region The town was
rebuilt from ruins, new administrative
and residential areas were constructed.
The remaining old buildings with their
histories, as well as monuments built
to commemorate significant events and
dates can tell us a lot about the interesting
historical past of the town and of
the generations of people who lived and
worked there.

Šiauliai is a center of Northern Lithuanian
district, founded in water-parting
of rivers Dubysa and Venta, Talša and
Rėkyva lakes. The first documentary reference
of the battle in the Sun (Šiauliai)
land that took place on September 22,
1236 was made in the Livonian chronicles.
That date is considered to be the
date of establishment of the city.
During the 16 th -18 th centuries Šiauliai
was the center of economy. The history
of Šiauliai industry is connected with
the recast of leather, confectionery, beer
producing. During the wars of the 20 th
century the city was almost gone from
the surface of earth, that’s why it has no
old town today. Šiauliai is the third city
according to the area (81,13 sq km) and
the fourth according to the number of
population (133,9 thousand).
The most popular palce in Šiauliai is the
Broadway for pedestrians full of pulsating
city life.

PLACES OF INTEREST
The Hill of Crosses and the
Monasteryof the Hill of Crosses
Next to the Vilnius-Riga highway, 12
km from Šiauliai to the north.
The Hill of Crosses is a shrine for most
Catholics. The first crosses were put
to honour the dead after the rebellion
of 1831 suppressed by the Tsarist authorities.
When Soviet authorities took
power in Lithuania after the World War
II they tried to remove the crosses for
many times. But the crosses were always
secretly replaced overnight. Today, more
than 80,000 crosses are a testimony to
the spirit of the Lithuanian people. The
Hill was visited by Pope John Paul II
during his trip to Lithuania in 1993.
During his visit to a Franciscan monastery
of the mount of Verna (Italy) in
1994, the Pope John Paul II encouraged
the brothers to build a monastery
by the Hill of Crosses. A hermit of the
Franciscan Brothers was consecrated on
July 7, 2000.
St. Apostles Peter and Paul’s
Cathedral’s Complex
Aušros takas 3 Šiauliai
Phone +370-41 52 80 77
The Cathedral is situated in the centre
of the city. The architectural complex of
the Cathedral consists of the Cathedral
itself and a churchyard fence with a gate.
The construction of St. Apostles Peter
and Paul’s Church began in 1594 on the
site of a decayed wooden church.
The building was erected in the
Renaissance style, with quite a few features
typical of mediaeval architecture.
In 1997, the church was granted the status
of a cathedral.
There are a number of stories telling why
the Cathedral was built at this place,
and not somewhere else. A legend has
it that upon a time a huge ox wandered
to Šiauliai, laid down to rest, and passed
away in its sleep. As the time passed, the
wind covered the dead ox with dust and
sand, and thus a small hill occurred. It
is that hill St. Apostles Peter and Paul’s
Cathedral stands on today.
Sundial Square
Ežero – Lukauskio St, the intersection of
Ežero St and S. Šalkauskio St
An extraordinary anniversary of the
city’s foundation, its 750 th jubilee,
prompted the date to be marked in
a unique and appropriate manner. A
contest was announced in 1981, and
the winners were three artists from
Šiauliai: A. Černiauskas, R. Jurėla and
A.Višniūnas. Sun Dial Square embodies
the tree symbols related to the origins of
the city, its history and name: the sun
symbolizes the battle of Saulė, which
was fought in the vicinity of Šiauliai,
while the archer is related to the origin
of the city‘s name. A legend tells us that
the name of Šiauliai originated from the
word “šaulys” meaning an archer. The
symbols of the sun and the archer unite
the third one, the time. Hour-counting
digits, 12, 3 and 6, are cast into the
square floor. The sequence of the digits
forms the figure1236, i.e.the year when
the name of Šiauliai was mentioned for
the first time.
Vilniaus Street – Pedestrian
Boulevard
It is the oldest walking street in Lithuania,
and the 3 rd in Europe. Walking in
Šiauliai Boulevard, you can enjoy architecture,
a fountain, museums, shops and
restaurants. The boulevard was opened
almost 30 years ago and now is under
renovation.
Salduvė Mound
Once upon a time, there was a wooden
castle standing on Salduve Mound,
which was destroyed during battles
against the Order of Sword-Bearers. A
legend tells us that the duke of Šiauliai
and his beloved girl lived on the hill;
however, they were not married. The
God Perkūnas punished them and killed
them with a flash of lightning. Their
love was very sweet that’s why the hill is
called Salduvė.
Gaidžio laikrodžio (Cockerel Clock)
Square
The intersection of Vilniaus St and
Tilžės St
In 2003, Šiauliai celebrated the 767th
anniversary of its foundation, and now
you can hear the crow of one of the renovated
symbols, the cockerel, “Come for
a date!” Lovers and businesslike people,
too, come here for a date or a meeting
- “See you at the cockerel’s” is a common
phrase. Now, the symbol of downtown
Šiauliai not only crows, but welcomes
passers-by with his “Welcome to
Šiauliai”, too. The welcoming phrase can
be heard in English, German, French,
Russian, Spanish, Yiddish, Swedish,
Romany, and other languages.
Leisure and Entertainment Park
„Beržynėlis“
Šiauliai City Municipality and Šiauliai
TIC have made a leisure and entertainment
park „Beržynėlis“ for families, especially
for children. The park has many
playgrounds, a mini zoo yard, wooden
domestic and exotic animals, other entertainments.

RADVILIŠKIS DISTRICT
Territory: 1,635 sq km
Location: Northern Lithuania
Population: 54,000
Getting there: by bus from Riga, Vilnius,
Kaunas, Klaipėda and Šiauliai, by train
from Vilnius and Klaipėda
Distance from Vilnius: 208km
Firstly mentioned in 1567, Radviliškis
was once a large administrative centre,
but the history has taken its own turn.
The dual effects of the Russian-Swedish
War and plague at the beginning of
the 18 th century reduced the area to a
mere backwater. However, since the
independence of 1918, the area has
seen somewhat of a revival in its earlier
fortunes. Perhaps of most interest to a
modern traveller are the Kleboniškių
Open-Air Ethnographic Museum,
Burbiškės Manor-Museum and the
Šeduva Windmill.

wish, get involved into ancient jobs such
as milling the grain, baking the bread and

JONIŠKIS DISTRICT
Territory: 1,152 sq km
Location: Northern Lithuania
Population: 34,200
Getting there: by bus from Riga and
Šiauliai
Distance from Vilnius: 269 km
For many years Joniškis has been an
important border settlement widely
known for its craftsmen, agricultural
products and a great number of pubs.
The famous Hansa trade road that links
Tilsit with Riga also crosses Joniškis. Its
origin is related to Sidabre – Žiemgaliai
Castle, which appears in the historical
sources as early as 1289. In 1523,
Vilnius Bishop John while visiting the
Šiauliai District border came across
with local pagans. According to his
order a new church was built, thus giving
the area name of Joniškis in honour
of the Bishop. King Sigismundus Vasa
granted Joniškis the Magdeburg Rights
in 1616. The town thus acquired a new
economic and juridical status, with
a permission to build the town hall.
Meanwhile Joniškis grew to become the
largest town of Šiauliai economy, by far
exceeding the economy’s centre itself. In
the centre of Joniškis is a monument of
urban architecture.

cultural monuments. Pakruojis Manor
House was first mentioned in 1531.The
Manor is a cultural monument of state
importance. Manor buildings, which
were started to build by the initiative
and funding of the baron Vilhelm fon
der Ropp, can still be found there.
43 buildings built of local material
– dolomite – are still there. Cultural
events and exhibitions are held in the
Manor. There is an English style park
at the Manor House. The two-stored
arched bridge (1821) is an especially
unique building of late Classicism
epoch; it is more than 180 years old.
Petrašiūnai settlement: there was an
old railway junction there, therefore
the railway station is considered to be a
cultural object. Linkuva is a monument
to architecture; it is one of the most
interesting towns in the northern
Lithuania. In the centre of the town
there are small redbrick houses of former
armourers and bakers. Linkuva
St. Mary Schapler Church (1606)
shines in the sun on Linkuva Hill. The
church shapes are laconic. It has typical
Renaissance features. Few kilometres
away from Linkuva near the river Mūša,
in Veselkiškiai, one can visit memorial
homestead of composer Juozas Pakalnis.
Žeimelis is one of the oldest towns in the
country. There is a Žiemgala museum in
Mažoji Karčema, which has about 4000
exhibits and which reflect Žiemgala
land archaeology, ethnography, customs
as well as traditions. There are more
breweries in this area than anywhere
else in Šiauliai Region, starting from the
ancient ethnographic ones and ending
with the modern ones, which produce
beer. Small breweries usually produce
beer according to the recipes of their
ancestors and following old traditions.
They faithfully follow „live“ barely malt
beer production traditions. One can
visit the brewers of the land famous for
its beer.
A new attraction for tourists is the
tradition of hunting young crows, cooking
and eating them. An original and
unique humour, beer and crows festivals
are organized annually in August in Pakruojis,
HAV state capital.

BIRŽAI DISTRICT
District location: Northern Lithuania.
District territory: 1476 sq km
District population: 37.8 thous
Biržai population: 15, 8 thous
Getting there: by bus from Vilnius,
Panevėžys.
Distance from Vilnius: 215 km
The name of Biržai was first mentioned
in 1450. This is a place where people of
seven different religious denominations
peacefully have resided together for
ages. From the 15 th century Biržai was
an important trade point on the road
from Riga to Vilnius and Moscow. The
construction of a castle with bastions,
ramparts, moat and drawbridge began
on the banks of Širvena Lake in 1586.
Today on the same site there is a recently
reconstructed Palace of Duke Radvila. On
the opposite bank of Širvena Lake there
stands another residence of antiquity -
the Astravas Palace with beautiful park
around. The lovely Church of St. John
the Baptist, completed in 1861, is noted
for the unity of its interior and exterior
shapes.
Biržai is well known in Lithuania for its
local small breweries and beer production
of special taste. This beverage takes an
important part in the town’s history.
Specific feature of Biržai land is gypsum
content and numerous underground
rivers, caves and caverns. As a result, the
land of this area is dotted with numerous
sinkholes. The biggest of them is a Cow
Hole (“Karvės ola”), which is about 46
meters long.

A legend says that the first dweller of
this town was Rokas, who hunted hares
in the area. His name and the word
“kiškis” (hare) were supposedly the
basis for the name Rokiškis. In reality
it was first known as a private estate
in 1499. The latest owner of Rokiškis
was Count Tyssenhausen, the initiator
of a group of still standing buildings
and the most beautiful Neo-Gothic
church in Lithuania. Here you will find
a collection of fine works by French,
Belgian, Lithuanian, Polish, Australian
and German artists. You can also visit
the catacombs, where members of the
illustrious Rokiškis families are buried.
Rokiškis District surroundings are
suitable for recreation and tourism.
There are 99 lakes in it and a part of
the picturesque Sartai Regional Park
belongs to the district. Tourists may

and historical monuments, such

PASVALYS DISTRICT
Location: Northern Lithuania
RURAL TOURISM ACCOMMODATION
Territory: 1,289 sq km
Population: 34,920 thous
Getting there: by bus from Panevėžys
and Vilnius
Distance from Vilnius: 174 km
The district of Pasvalys can be found in
the middle of the Žiemgala lowland.
The first settlements in the region
were mentioned as far back as the 13 th
century. There are seven parks within its
boundaries. On the eastern outskirts of
the region there is the Valley of Crosses
(Kryžių Slėnis), and a series of interesting
caves formed when soil and gypsum were
penetrated by surface water.
Founded in 1497, Pasvalys City lies at
the confluence of the Lėvuo and Svalia
rivers, at the very bottom of the central
lowland. This area is of a particular
interest as it is sinking at the rate of 1cm/
year. Fortunately, this is of no danger to

PLACES TO VISIT
Alytus Mound
Silent witness of the past was arranged in
the natural mountain on the right bank
of the Nemunas River. They say that a
wooden castle was situated in this place
in the 14 th century and that it was burnt
during the crusades in 1377. Though the
castle is no longer here, the view from
the top of the mound is worth seeing.
Now the fortress hill and its environs are
historic and landscape reservation.
Radžiūnai Mound
The mound is within Vidzgiris Botanical
Reservation. The legend says that two
brothers dukes poured the mound for the
defence. Recently there was arranged an
ecological – training path on Radžiūnai
Mound.
Song Valley
This valley has a good reason to be called
Song Valley. It is a real song cradle, the
place of gatherings and relaxation of
Alytus citizens and their neighbours.
Song and dance festivals take place here.
Alytus City Garden and Park
Alytus City Garden was started in 1928.
It is very nice to walk or sit here in a shady
place. In 1931, the so-called Love Corner
was arranged. The wonderful fountain
and rosariums give the surroundings an
air of romance.
Sculpture Nikė in the City Garden
It is also called Angel of Freedom. A
monument with the Angel of Freedom
on it was put up for the first time in
1928. This monument was dedicated
to the people killed for the freedom of
Lithuania. Unfortunately, in 1934 the
plaster statue was struck and broken by
the first spring lightning. Later, the Angel
of Freedom was restored and lifted onto
the pedestal, but was pulled down again
in 1952 by the Soviet soldiers. In 1991,
the statue was again restored.

in the reserve. Wonderful views are worth
seeing. The paths here are suitable for
walking and for winter skiing.
Gulbynės Pond
Every year the swans return to this place
to lay their eggs and raise their young.
It is because of their return every year
that this park has the status of a microornithological
reserve.
The Fitness Path
It has replaced former railway and
connects one end of the city with the
other. The path stretches along raised
place thus a very beautiful view of the
city opens before your eyes. The wooden

ZARASAI REGION
District location: North- Eastern Lithuania
District territory: 1334 sq km
District population: 23 thous
Zarasai population: 9 thous
Getting there: by bus from Vilnius,
Kaunas and Utena
Distance from Vilnius: 143 km
The first inhabitants of this land were
Finnish - Ugric nomads and fishermen.
The Balts tribe Sėliai is mentioned in the
documents of Grand Duke Mindaugas.
Later it assimilated with main Lithuanian
and Latvian ethnic groups.
Zarasai was established at the end of the
15 th century and at the beginning of the
16 th century. At the beginning it was an
estate. On an island of the lake Zarasai
a monastery and a church were built.
The place suited very well for living as
an important trade road from central
Lithuania to Riga and Pskov crossed
it. The town fell into decay during the
Nordic War. In 1708-1711 the plague
considerably reduced the number of
inhabitants. In the second half of the
18 th century Zarasai revived again. At
the end of the 18 th century there was a
customhouse, which gave permission to
sell flax in Riga (Latvia).
Zarasai land provides wonderful
possibilities for sightseeing and active
rest. There are a lot of different museums
presenting its history, the culture of the
folk artists, the nature values and honour
people who once lived there. Picturesque
landscape forces the visitor to return
there next year.

wooden windmill where international
folklore festivals are held. Artist and

MAŽEIKIAI DISTRICT
Location: Northern Lithuania
Territory: 1,220 sq km
Population: 67,393 thous
Mažeikiai town population: 46,223
thous
Getting there: by bus from Vilnius, Kaunas,
Klaipėda and other towns
Distance from Vilnius: 313 km
Mažeikiai is a town located in the northern
part of Lithuania near the Latvian
border. The history of Mažeikiai does
not go as far back as the oldest times,
though it is known that in the twelfth
and thirteenth centuries this land
belonged to Ceklis region which suffered
a lot from the crusaders. The formation
of the town began in 1868 after the
Liepaja - Romny railway line was laid.
At the crossing of the three roads from
Viekšniai, Leckava and Tirkšliai, one of
the railway stops was located and it was
named after a small farm whose master
was Mažeika.
In 1871, trains began running on this
line, and in 1874, Mažeikiai was connected
to Riga by railway. In 1880, 19
plots of land were parcelled out for contraction
of houses near the stop, and in
1895, the first streets were laid out with
cobblestones. A chemist’s and other shops
were opened. Small workshops appeared.
Later on, Mažeikiai sprang up when in
1902 a new railway station palace of
brick, locomotives and repair workshops
and a school for railwaymen were built.
Throughout the ages Mažeikiai was only
a railway junction and the town of small
factories and workshops. When oil–processing
enterprise Mažeikių Nafta was
built in 1980, Mažeikiai became a large
industrial town. Mažeikiai can claim to
be the eighth largest city in Lithuania
and is one of the most economically
important towns.
Mažeikiai people live an active cultural
life. There are many various art groupings
(folk, dances, choirs, pop groups of children)
in the district, who participate in
many festivals in Lithuania and other
countries. There is one especially well
known town festival Žemaičių Dūdos
(Žemaičių Pipes), where many Lithuanian
and foreign art ensembles come.

The road itinerary Kaunas-Jurbarkas
(86 km)
The great part of this road is lined with
ancient groves and hillocks passing some
historic places. The first half of the route
keeps close to the Nemunas River on
the left and a row of ancient defensive
towns, such as Vilkija, Seredžius,
Veliuona, Raudonė perched on the hills
on the right. Today these are tranquil,
leafy towns with charming churches,
where castles used to stand.
Panemunė Castle
On the north bank of the Nemunas
near Kaunas – Jurbarkas road stands the
Panemunė Castle. Janusas Eperjesas, a
nobleman of Hungarian descent, built the
castle in 1604-1610. Panemunė Castle
was not designed to be a stronghold for the
defence of the land but a typical, for the
beginning of the 17 th century, feudal castle
with defensive fittings, residential buildings
in the Akmena valley, and in the Plynoji
bog and the surrounding forest.
and farm buildings. This is a Renaissance
era building. At the end of the 17 th century,
Kristupas Eperjesas reconstructed the castle
ensemble built by his father in a Baroque
style. In the second half of the 18 th century,
the Gelgaudas family carried out a classical
reconstruction.
Raudonė Castle
Raudonė architectural ensemble represents
the early period of Renaissance in the
secular architecture in Lithuania. Until
the 16 th century, Raudonė was a royal
manor, which Žygimatas Augustas gave
to Žematijos Elder Jeronimas Krispinas
– Kirsensteinas , who had immigrated to
Lithuania from Prussia. His son, Krispinas
Kirsensteinas, built a fortified manor house
castle with a 33.5 m (110 ft) cylindrical
tower at the end of the 16 th century.
Those wishing to admire the glorious
Nemunas valley can climb to the top of
the large tower. The castle is surrounded
by an old park, in which rare trees grow:
the silver fir, Swisspine, and Grey Walnut.
Unfortunately, the Gediminas Oak, under
which according to the legend the Grand
Duke of Lithuania Gediminas had lunch,
is no longer putting out leaves. It is one of
the oldest oaks in Europe.
Veliuona
35 km from Jurbarkas on Kaunas – Jurbarkas
road.
Veliuona is one of the most distinctive
towns in Lithuanian history, especially

connected with the Crusaders` marches.
The following are the places, witnessing
the 14 th –15 th century battles. You can
also visit old town of Veliuona where
the monument to Vytautas the Great
was built on Veliuona`s 700 anniversary,
the church of Veliuona with Baroque
altars and original paintings of famous
Lithuanian painters of the beginning
of the 20 th century and a Manor House
– Ethnographic Museum.
Seredžius
45 km from Jurbarkas on Kaunas – Jurbarkas
road.

Kuršių Nerija National Park covers an
area of 27,000 ha and stretches north to
south in a total of 52 km. It is a narrow
peninsula separating the Kuršių Marios
(Curonian Lagoon) from the Baltic Sea.
In 2000 Kuršių Nerija (the Curonian
Spit), together with a part of Russian
oblast of Kaliningrad, were included
into UNESCO World Heritage List.
The sea winds blowing in from the Baltic
shift the sand, creating a range of large
sand dunes. Until the 15 th century, both
deciduous and coniferous forests covered
the spit, however, later on the trees were
cut down. This led to severe sand shifting.
The moving sand swallowed up
to 14 villages in their wake, and it was
only in 1825 that G.D. Kuvertas started
the first reforestation project to stop the
shifting. The largest of the dunes are
Sklandytojų, the Angiai Hill, Parnidis
Dune and the Urbas Hill.
The four settlements are Nida, a popular
summertime holiday destination, Preila,
Pervalka and Juodkrantė. They have been
formed into one municipal unit, called
Neringa. Nida is the administrative
centre, and the largest settlement on the
spit. Neringa is the town with the least
number of inhabitants in Lithuania,
with a population of only 2,700. All
the settlements contain ethnographic
architectural monuments. The old part
of Nida has been proclaimed as an
urbanistic monument.

RURAL TOURISM
The purpose of Lithuanian rural tourism
is to develop agricultural production and
to cherish ancient national rural traditions.
More than 20% of the Lithuanian
population live in the countryside. New
business activities are being sought to
ensure sufficient financial resources to
preserve farming, especially in low productivity
lands, where farming is not
able to ensure business prosperity and
adequate income for farmers.
The old villages scattered among lakes
and woods have preserved their ancient
structure and specific culture. Staying
in a farmstead by a lake or the sea, at
the old manor or watermill by the river
where you can fish, travel on foot, swim,
canoe or ride a horse is a popular pursuit
for many tourists. Lithuania is a perfect
destination for people who like to spend
their holiday floating on crystal-clear
lakes, walking around ancient woodlands
and enjoying picturesque scenery.

accommodation contact relevant tourist
information centres.

BOATING AND SAILING
Lithuania is a country of lakes and
rivers, and as such the possibility to
explore the country on the water is
available everywhere. From canoeing to
sailing, everything is possible. The most
popular yacht clubs can be found, not
surprisingly, close to the sea at Nida
and Smiltynė. Here, it is possible to
hire a yacht with or without a crew, and
arrange educational trips on the lagoon.
The famous Aukštaitija Lake District
offers cheap canoe rental in the most
beautiful scenery. Small yachts, sailboats
and fishing boats are allowed to sail in
practically all nature parks that cover
suitable lakes.
