Lithuania

“Oh, this is the best question! Most of the recs below are for Vilnius :) Coffee: Mon. coffee shop,  Kitchen Coffee Vilnius Books: Mint Vinetu  Everything in the Senatorių Pasažas courtyard is divine. Fantastic wine, grill, cardamom buns at the bakery in the morning For Lithuanian cuisine— Šnekutis  If you want a ritzy hotel, Hotel Pacai is super cool and has an incredible spa. Bernardine Garden is lovely for a walk and in the evenings, a courtyard has a ton of great food trucks—Malfatti is the winner, incredible handmade pasta  Go for a walk in Užupis, look at the art galleries, and book ahead for a wonderful, cozy meal at Le Travi Halės Market is a real cultural experience, and Senamiesčio Krautuvėle has all sorts of great local snacks and treats The island castle of Trakai is a must-visit, and if you’re feeling adventurous, take a hot air balloon there or over the old town of Vilnius :)  Could take a wonderful day trip to the spa town of Druskininkai, and if you do, rent bikes in town and ride through the lovely forest to Grūtas park Enjoy Lithuania!! It is the absolute best”
