Lithuania
Tucked far away from Europe’s mainstream giants is lovely Lithuania, packed with more weird and delightful goodies per square mile than you would imagine. Aerial-lovers, take note: it has the highest number of hot air balloons per person in the world. Dig in to the bacon-filled, heart-stoppingly delicious Cepilinai, a dumpling delicacy named after the ovoid German Zeppelin. This little country was the first to shake off Communism and the last to embrace Christianity, happy to carry on with their mystical Pagan ways. Lithuanian is believed to be the oldest living language and nearest to Sanskrit, the stork is the national bird (pagan fertility beliefs, after all), and they actually have a national scent, the Scent of Lithuania that combines aromas of lilacs, amber, red berries and cedar. And not just content to brim over with art, ancient culture and music (the Vilnius Opera House is a must-go), Lithuania is also kind enough to give us some of the fastest Internet speeds in all of Europe.

Peak Season Description:
The country is at its best in summer, with long sunny days and short comfortable nights. The waters of the Baltic are actually warm enough to swim in (this might not be for everyone). Festivals erupt all over the country, including the spectacular 3-day Sea Festival of Klaipeda; the street life is vibrant and advance planning is required for hotels/activities.
Shoulder Season Description:
The Baltic spring months are cool, with snowmelt feeding rivers, making it a great time for canoeing and other outdoor activities, but without the crowds. The autumn months of September November see an overshoot of peak-season tourists (but less so) because days are still sunny. This is also the time of classical music festivals and the famous Mama Jazz Festival in Vilnius.
Low Season Description:
As expected, the Baltic winters are cold and dark, with sub-zero temperatures and snow-covered landscapes. Expect continuous snowfall, ranging from light dust to heavy. Not much happening at this time; hotels and restaurants may be shut (except in the big cities), and it is not a pleasant time for a visit, overall.
