Mother Nature has donated a decent dose of natural wonder to Lithuania, but you’ll find that humans have left their stamp, too, in undeniably weird and wonderful ways. White sandy beaches edge the Curonian Spit, an enchanting pig-tail of land dangling off the country’s west coast, and thick forests guard twinkling lakes. The capital, Vilnius, is a beguiling artists’ enclave with mysterious courtyards, worn cobbled streets, and crumbling corners overlooked by Baroque beauties. The country’s oddities – among them a hill covered in crosses, a forest peopled with carvings of witches, and a sculpture park littered with Lenins – bring a flavor found nowhere else. Add a colorful history and raw pagan roots fused with Catholic fervor, and you’ve got a country full of surprises.
