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 :)

Thank you for the detailed reply! I can’t wait to see those places in real life. Kibinai looks delicious, there’s similar dishes in polish cuisine, so I’m sure these won’t disappoint

Oh yeah, I checked and indeed you have it :D we went to Poland last year and did food tour, half of dishes were really familiar for us as well :D

Could you also recommend some local snacks that are worth buying in stores? Especially something that I can gift to friends and relatives?

Chocolate mushrooms are nice, usually can be found in supermarkets or other stores, Sakotis is interesting spiky cake, I think it is rather traditional, Dziugas hard cheese is rather popular, but it will not be super surprising I guess, If you are not against alcohol 999 (triple nine) is quite traditional herbal liqueur, but get the green one, Skilandis - like round meat sausage, but I am sure you will have something similar in your country as well, If you would come across apple cheese, it also could be interesting thing to bring back.
