You will sense the history around you and see history in the making as you enjoy a stay in this unique and unforgettable country. A country known for its agrarian and wooded beauty, Lithuania is characterized by flat plains and rolling hills. The highest hill, Juozapine, is only 964 feet above sea level.

The country is also known for the high quality of education and teaching level. Lithuania consistently ranks high in quality of life as it boasts low pollution, excellent healthcare, and high standards of living at a lower cost than most Western European countries.

On 11 March 1990, the Republic of Lithuania was re-established as an independent state, the first Soviet Republic to leave Moscow and leading other states to do so. Lithuania considered the Soviet occupation and annexation illegal and, like the other two Baltic States, claimed state continuity.
