Europe is filled with stunning holiday spots but too many of them are becoming overcrowded. Instead of heading to the bustling streets of Spain, Italy or Greece, there\u2019s one country<\/a> that\u2019s perfect for a quieter break.<\/p>\n Lithuania is a destination that Brits are all too often missing out on. With sunny weather and stunning landscapes, you\u2019ll want to look into Lithuania<\/a> for your next trip. While some countries are trying to reduce tourists, others are looking to welcome more visitors.<\/p>\n You can get to Lithuania in just two hours and 40 minutes from the UK via plane (Image: Getty)<\/p>\n Klaipeda port is the perfect place to catch a sunset (Image: Getty)<\/p>\n READ MORE: Trump humiliated as European leader says he has harmed NATO more than Putin <\/a><\/p>\n READ MORE: Iraqi men caught running ‘Tripadvisor for people smugglers’ from car wash jailed <\/a><\/p>\n Across Europe, in recent years, there has been increased talk about visitor caps, cruise ship bans and tourist<\/a> surcharges in popular holiday spots.<\/p>\n But for Lithuania, there\u2019s a plan in place to promote international tourism campaigns \u2013 inviting global tourism.<\/p>\n In 2024, Lithuania adopted its first national Tourism Roadmap, which aims to double tourism\u2019s contribution to the economy by 2030.<\/p>\n The strategy appears to be gaining traction as international arrivals grew by 4.4% in 2025, while Lithuanian airports recorded their highest passenger numbers on record, reports<\/a> say.<\/p>\n Lithuania is home to stunning forests, beautiful lakes and vibrant culture.<\/p>\n Its traditional heritage is a key factor in bringing in travellers.<\/p>\n Vilnius was named European Green Capital for 2025, partly due to its extensive green spaces and sustainable urban mobility initiatives.<\/p>\n The country is filled with greenery (Image: Getty)<\/p>\n You can even visit Lithuania’s beaches (Image: Getty)<\/p>\n One person who visited Vilnius on Tripadvisor said: \u201cFirst time visiting Vilnius and I had heard it was extremely beautiful with much of the old town being in the Baroque style.<\/p>\n \u201cMy friends and I spent around four hours walking around the streets and looking at the numbers churches, the town hall and cathedral.<\/p>\n \u201cI was certainly not disappointed! Really beautiful city with plenty to see! I could have easily spent longer, but we were there on a day trip. Definitely would go back!\u201d<\/p>\n Lithuania is an underrated European destination offering stunning UNESCO-listed buildings.<\/p>\n The country is an affordable and largely safe place to visit. Visitors can explore city districts and enjoy traditional cuisine, all while being just a stone\u2019s throw away from rural scenery.<\/p>\n![\"Balloons](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/balloons-over-vilnius-6855717.jpg\" "\\"Balloons")
