9 Days in Lithuania, incl. Vilnius and Curonian Spit
A thoughtfully curated nine-day route showcases Lithuania's essentials: 2 nights in Vilnius, 1 in Kaunas, 3 in Nida, plus stays in Klaipeda and Trakai. The package includes 8 breakfasts and entry to key attractions.
- Day 1
Vilnius
Start in the capital by exploring the UNESCO-listed Old Town with its cobblestone streets and Baroque architecture. Book a hotel near Cathedral Square in the Old Town for easy walking access. Visit the Vilnius University courtyards before 10 AM when it's less crowded.
- Day 2
Vilnius to Kaunas
Take the morning train to Kaunas (1.5 hours). The trains are modern but book first class to guarantee a seat. Spend your afternoon in Kaunas' Old Town and visit the unique Devils' Museum. The Pazaislis Monastery is worth visiting but it's closed Mondays and Sundays.
- Days 3-5
Curonian Spit and Nida
Travel to Nida on the Raketa boat from Kaunas. The UNESCO-listed sand dune peninsula is perfect for cycling and hiking. Rent bikes to explore the car-free paths between fishing villages. Bring windproof clothes since the Baltic breeze can be strong. Stop by the Amber Museum to learn about Lithuania's "Baltic gold."
- Day 6
Nida to Klaipeda
You can either take a transfer or bike to Klaipeda. The coastal cycling route takes 4-5 hours with stops and is well marked. Regular ferries run every 30 minutes from the Spit to Klaipeda. Bring small change for the ferry.
- Day 7
Klaipeda to Trakai
Visit the Cold War Museum in an old Soviet nuclear missile base near Lake Plateliai. Next, see the Hill of Crosses before 4 PM for good photos. End your day in Trakai. Pick lakeside accommodation for beautiful morning views.
- Day 8
Trakai
Visit Trakai Castle, the country's most photographed site. Take an early boat tour on Lake Galvė when the water is calm. Try local Karaite food for lunch, especially the kibinai meat pastries. Head back to Vilnius in the afternoon.
- Day 9
Vilnius Departure
Plan for a late morning or afternoon flight to avoid rush hour traffic. If you have time, visit Užupis, the artistic district of Vilnius, which is quieter in the morning.
8 Day Lithuania Coastal Itinerary, incl. Klaipeda and Nida
Cyclists cover 253km of Lithuania's stunning coast over eight days, with six full riding days. Two-night stays in Silute and Nida offer deep dives into local attractions and optional rest days.
- Day 1
Klaipeda
Start in Klaipeda, Lithuania's main coastal city. The Old Town is easy to reach from most hotels. "Klaipeda is one of the best locations on the route" according to frequent travelers. Take time to walk the cobblestone streets and see the Germanic architecture before starting your bike journey.
- Day 2
Klaipeda to Palanga Loop (58 km)
Ride north on the Lithuanian Seaside Cycle Route through Giruliai Forest on well-marked, flat paths. Stop at the impressive 24-meter Dutchman's Cap cliff on your way to Palanga resort. Visit the Amber Museum and walk the 470m pier in early afternoon when it's less crowded. Take a different route back to Klaipeda.
- Day 3
Inland to Silute (47 km)
Start with a 40-minute transfer inland to cycle through stork country. The roads are quiet but keep an eye out for farm vehicles. Stop at Sveksna village to see its neo-gothic church. The route stays flat but can get windy, so plan regular water breaks.
- Day 4
Rusne Island Loop (47 km)
Visit Lithuania's only river island in the Nemunas Delta. If you like wildlife, bring binoculars to use at the bird-watching towers. Make sure to see the 19th-century lighthouse at Uostadvaris. Look across the river and you'll see Russia just 100 meters away.
- Day 5
Vente Cape to Nida (33 km + boat)
Bike to Europe's oldest bird ringing station at Vente Cape. Take the boat across the Curonian Lagoon (14km). The water can be rough, so consider motion sickness pills. Your destination is Nida, the cultural center of the Curonian Spit.
- Day 6
Nida Rest Day (10 km optional)
Relax in Nida with short rides or walks. Visit the Thomas Mann Summer House for great views. One cyclist noted: "Nida was a highlight - the massive sand dunes and Baltic beaches are incredible." Get walking poles if you want to climb the dunes.
- Day 7
Nida to Klaipeda (58 km)
Take the paved coastal cycle path north. You'll pass the mysterious Dead Dunes and the interesting Hill of Witches with its wooden folklore sculptures. Bring swimwear for beach stops. End with a quick ferry ride back to Klaipeda's Old Town.
- Day 8
Departure
Most people leave after breakfast, but consider staying extra nights in Klaipeda to see more of the city. Palanga Airport is 35km away. Book afternoon flights to avoid morning traffic.
