In a world that commodifies the terms "conservation" and "sustainability", Lithuania epitomizes both. Named the European Green Capital of 2025, there’s never been a better time to explore its protected forests, lakes and sandy dunes along the Baltic Sea.

Green spaces cover 61% of its capital, Vilnius, with unmissable attractions like the recently restored Sapieha Palace.

Toast Vilnius after dark with craft cocktails at Champaneria, followed by live music and dancing at Bardakas.

Follow pilgrims to the emotive Hill of Crosses near Šiauliai, a powerful remembrance site made up of 100,000-plus crosses.

Get lost in ancient oak forests and a labyrinth of wild boating lakes in the untouched Aukštaitija National Park.

"Vilnius rocks with creativity, be it fine art galleries, trees dressed in knitting, local crafts or street musicians."

Eglė Nutautaitė, Lithuanian novelist
