Every year, almost everyone faces the same question: “Where to celebrate the New Year?” Often, we consider dozens of options and settle on simply celebrating at home. But believe me, not everyone chooses this option.

Celebrating New Year’s in another country is now a popular choice. One such country, which is increasingly attracting tourists for the New Year’s holidays, is Lithuania. Its fairytale atmosphere will give you unforgettable holiday emotions.

Lithuania is a small country, and there are not many cities. The most visited and interesting are Vilnius, Kaunas, and the island on Lake Galvė. If you want to celebrate New Year’s in Vilnius, you should definitely stroll along Gediminas Avenue, visit the city’s main square, which is transformed into a fairytale Christmas town, and head to the Užupis district, considered Vilnius’s creative district.

If you’re a fan of the Middle Ages, you’ll surely be delighted to visit Trakai Castle on an island in Lake Galvė. It’s considered the only island castle in Eastern Europe. You can take a tour of the castle and then be sure to enjoy the exquisite Karaite dishes served in Trakai’s restaurants. Why Karaite and not Lithuanian? Because the Karaite people once arrived here from Crimea, leaving behind their traditional recipes.

Kaunas is another option for celebrating the New Year. This city resembles a New Year’s postcard: snow-covered streets, ice slides, cozy cafes, fun, and singing. Enjoy the festive atmosphere and make the New Year truly unforgettable.
