Palm Sunday in Vilnius 2024 ☀️
Yesterday Linas and Jurga travelled from Kaunas, Lithuania 🇱🇹 to Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮 and this was their ferry crossing ⛴️ 🧊 ❄️ They are attending @matkamessut Matka Travel Fair in Helsinki
Christmas has arrived in Kaunas 💫 with a dreamy Christmas tree of feathers and snowflake lighting in the old town square. #kaunas #christmastree #Lithuania
A quiet lunch at the Fish & Onion Restaurant in Kolkja on a sunny Friday in October. A popular stop for our guests exploring the Tartu region of Estonia 🇪🇪 #estonia #kolkja Kolkja Kala- ja sibularestoran #visitestonia #visittartu
A sunny Sunday visit to Medininkai, close to the Lithuanian border with Belarus. A loudspeaker relayed the service inside to families who had brought restless children outside to run off some energy.
Good job we love slow travel in Lithuania 🇱🇹 we were on the road to pick up our guests when we encountered slow moving local traffic… 🦢 🤍 #lithuania #slowtravel #swans #meetthelocals

Baltic Holidays are proud to be one of the first small businesses kickstarted by Vilnius - we’re not taking about startup grants or angel investors - purely that the fun and fascination we experienced in Vilnius inspired us to share this undiscovered place with others!

That same year, Sally moved to Vilnius to work at In Your Pocket City Guides
Lithuania is a small country and paths inevitably cross, everyone has a mutual friend!

Tallinn to Stockholm on the ‘Baltic Queen’
A beautiful morning sailing through the Stockholm archipelago. Thanks to Tallink Eesti for a very comfortable and enjoyable sailing on the ‘Baltic Queen’ from Tallinn to Stockholm 🇪🇪 🇸🇪
Including a ferry crossing in your holiday adds a bit of adventure and is a really pleasant way to travel. A Baltic tour followed by an overnight ferry to Stockholm for some Nordic culture too?
Highly recommended! ⛴ Enjoy your weekend!

Hill of Crosses Lithuania
Have you ever visited the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania? It is a unique, emotional place of pilgrimage representing the strength of this small but feisty country. On a cold winters day, listen as the crosses tinkle gently in the wind.
