I was in Lithuania for 3 weeks recently, my boyfriend is Lithuanian and im a Non-eu citizen who lives in eu, we were there to meet my boyfriend’s family and to see his country, i have been to Estonia already so had a little bit of background of Baltic countries but honestly everything i had heard about Lithuania and the people used to scared me a bit, but in reality the experience was much more different.
1- People were actually really nice, maybe they’re not a big fan of smiling but if you need help, they will help you!
But once you’re walking in the street, the staring thing is real! Yet i feel like the staring comes from curiosity, not a bad thing.
2-The food/snacks were great, pink soup ( Šaltibarščiai ) and those cottage cheese snacks ( Varškės sūreliai ) are my favorites so far and I’m gonna miss them a lot!
3- Streets are very clean! This is one of the big differences i felt since i live in Rome, one of the dirtiest cities in my opinion! ( ofc we can’t ignore the population).
4- The nature is great, especially in Kaunas, everywhere is green and beautiful

Here are photos of my fav locations!

  2. I go to Lithuania a couple of times a year (I’m from the Netherlands) and I got to say totally with you! I love the people there, they are really nice, the food is fine for me too. I’m with you on it being clean, Vilnius and Kaunas are really tidy, compared even to Amsterdam.

    There is also a ton of interesting history to explore, castles, manor houses, etc.

    Also I love how its progressed as a country since my first visits back in 1998.

  3. In F1 terms, the average Lithuanian is like Kimi Räikkönen to strangers, but we turn into Vettel when you get to know you better

  4. Happy you enjoyed your visit and you’re welcome back anytime!

    I’m Lithuanian and my wife is a very obvious non-European girl. The stares are very real, idk why Lithuanians are this way. They’d even stare at me, maybe I move different because I lived abroad for so long 🤷‍♂️

  5. I love these posts here, let’s me see Lithuania by foreigners perspective 🙂

  7. Weird choice of photography, stairs and walkways aren’t the usual subject
