Why Lithuania?
Vilnius is a new and undiscovered destination for MICE visitors, the Lithuanian capital is a safe and friendly city which is priced very competitively when compared to other European destinations.
- According to a study made by a French scientist in 1989, Lithuania is in the geographical center of Europe.
- The Lithuanian language is more ancient than Greek, Latin, German, Celtic, or the Slav tongues. It belongs to the Indo-European group and is nearest to Sanscrit.
- Lithuania is known as the land of storks, the national bird for the country, with about 13,000 pairs.
- Forest covers 1/3 of the country, including many protected regions and 5 national parks (Aukštaitijos, Dzūkijos, Žemaitijos, Kuršių nerijos and Trakų)
- Basketball is the most popular sport. Several Lithuanians have become NBA players, maybe most famous being Arvydas Sabonis.
