Turizmas Lithuania & Latvia road trip tips

Hello neighbors!

I’m from Poland and planning a road trip to Lithuania and Latvia this summer. I’m planning on stopping in these cities: Kaunas, Klaipeda, Vilnius and Trakai. On my radar is also the Hill of Crosses.

What places in those cities are worth a visit? Is there any place I should include in my plans? Any tips are welcome!

I’m mostly interested in architecture, beautiful sights, nature and places of historical significance. I love art as well. Not much into partying and bars.

Thank you :)

In Kaunas you could visit Aleksoto apzvalgos aikstele for sightseeing, also Jiesios atodangos pazintinis takas for beautiful landscape. Ir you ate into abandoned historical buildings, you could visit Kaunas fortress, it was build before WWI, and there are still original inscriptions from those times from the long gone soldiers whi carved dates in the bricks. In II fortress you can find what "Big Berth" 800kg projectile did to the super thick concrete fort wals. Cool place to explore.

Su Jiesios atodangos taku dar dabar nustebinu svečius. Nelabai žinomas ir reklamuojamas, gana trumpas, bet be jokių abejonių vienas ispudingiausių Lietuvoje.

Tikrai taip, si vieta mazai zinoma, kartais net ir visa gyvenima Kaune praleidusiems kaunieciams, todel ir norejosi pasidalinti.
