Camping
There are very few camping sites in Lithuania. The only place where we found a good camping site was Trakai. But when you ask, you can often pitch your tent near a motel or something like that
Language
Lithuania has its own language. Even the menus are often completely incomprehensible. Just ask for help. Most people speak a little English or German. If you speak Russian, most people will understand you as well. Let them know that you're a foreigner, or you'll see angry faces.
Climate
The western part of the country has a climate like northwest Europe: during the summer a pleasant 20 degrees Centigrade.
the eastern part of Lithuania has a real land climate with temperatures in the 30s (Centigrade) in the summer and in the winter as cold as minus 40 degrees Centigrade.
Money
Getting cash from ATMs poses no problems. At this moment the currency still is the Lithuanian lita, but it won't take long until they have the euro.
If you know in advance which places you're going to visit, you can find out online if and where there are ATM's where you can use your MasterCard and Cirrus or Visa to withdraw money.
Plan your trip to Lithuania online
Through online reservation systems like À la Carte Vacations you can book airline tickets, hotels, rental cars and holiday houses. You can build a fly-drive itinerary with maximum flexibility, book a flight plus a hotel hotel for a night or weekend. Without the limitations of package deals from travel organisations and most times for a much better price.
