9 datapaket för Litauen, från 3 till 50 GB. Giltigheten sträcker sig från 1 dag till 180 dagar. 9 av dem fungerar med 5G där det lokala nätverket stöder det.
6 paket kan fyllas på utan att installera ett andra eSIM. Paketen fungerar med Telia, Tele2.
Räknat från vår live-katalog, inte en marknadsföringssiffra — listan över paket ovanför det här avsnittet är samma data.
Inget regionalt paket täcker Litauen — här är ett paket för ett enda land det enda alternativet, och det är ändå oftast billigare.
Ett rese-eSIM för Litauen är ett digitalt SIM som din mobil laddar ner — inget plastkort, ingen upphämtningsdisk på flygplatsen. Du köper online, trycker på installationslänken vi mejlar dig (en QR-kod följer med i samma mejl), och det installerar en andra linje vid sidan av ditt befintliga SIM. Det förblir vilande tills du anländer till Litauen, sedan ansluter det automatiskt till Telia, Tele2 på 5G där det finns och LTE överallt annars. Ditt hemnummer fortsätter fungera för samtal och sms; eSIM-kortet hanterar helt enkelt din data.
Kartor, meddelanden och samåkningsappar drar lite — ungefär 300–500 MB om dagen. Lägg till foton, sociala medier och en och annan video så är du närmare 1 GB om dagen. För en veckas resa är ett 5 GB-paket bekvämt; för två veckor, delning eller tung användning, välj 10 GB eller mer, eller ett påfyllningsbart paket som du kan ladda på språng. Litauen-paket börjar på 55,50 kr över 7 storlekar, med priset per GB visat på varje så att rätt val är uppenbart.
Bara paketpriset. Inom EU gäller surfa-som-hemma och ditt vanliga abonnemang räcker; utanför EU tar operatörens utlandstaxa vid, och den räknas per megabyte. Ett rese-eSIM för Litauen är ett lokalt datapaket, inte roaming via din operatör hemma — du betalar summan du ser i förväg. Ställ in eSIM-kortet som datalinje och slå av dataroaming på ditt vanliga SIM, så kommer det inga överraskningar när du är hemma igen. Full återbetalning när som helst innan du installerar, så du riskerar ingenting genom att köpa i förväg.
Cepelinai
Grated potato dumplings the size of a fist, shaped like airships, stuffed with minced pork and served under sour cream and fried pork crackling. One is usually enough.
Traditional restaurants everywhere; village guesthouses make the better version.
Šaltibarščiai
Cold beetroot soup on a kefir base, vivid pink, with dill, cucumber and boiled egg, served with a plate of hot boiled potatoes on the side. The temperature contrast is the point.
Every menu from late spring to early autumn.
Kibinai
Crimped pastries filled with chopped mutton and onion, brought to Lithuania by the Karaim community settled at Trakai in the fourteenth century.
The kibinai houses along the main street in Trakai, on the way to the castle.
Kugelis
A dense baked pudding of grated potato with bacon and onion, cut in slabs and served with sour cream and lingonberry.
Traditional restaurants and homestays; a staple of the eastern countryside.
Vėdarai
Potato sausage — grated potato piped into a casing and baked until the skin crisps. Served with bacon fat.
Rural restaurants and food festivals.
Skilandis
Coarse minced pork packed into a stomach casing, cold-smoked and matured for months. It carries an EU protected geographical indication and is sliced thin as a starter.
Markets and delicatessens; Vilnius's Halės market.
Kepta duona
Sticks of dark rye bread fried and rubbed with garlic, usually buried under grated cheese. The standard thing to order with beer.
Any pub. Ordering it is close to compulsory.
Šakotis
A tall spiked cake built by dripping batter onto a rotating spit over an open flame, layer by layer, until it grows branches. Sold whole or by the ring, and the centrepiece at weddings.
Markets and bakeries; watch one being turned at a food festival if you can.
Farmhouse beer
Lithuania kept a living farmhouse brewing tradition through the twentieth century that most of Europe lost — unfiltered raw ales fermented with house yeast strains, from the Biržai and Pasvalys area in the north.
Specialist beer bars in Vilnius and Kaunas; the breweries themselves around Biržai.
Midus
Mead, made here as a serious drink rather than a novelty, in dry and spiced versions as well as sweet. Stakliškės is the best-known producer.
Bars in Vilnius old town; the distillery at Stakliškės.
Vilnius Old TownVilnius
One of the largest surviving medieval old towns in northern Europe, UNESCO-listed and overwhelmingly Baroque, with Gediminas Tower above Cathedral Square and courtyards running off almost every street.
a day
UžupisVilnius
A small district across the Vilnia river that declared itself a republic, with a constitution mounted on mirrored plaques in dozens of languages including the line about dogs' right to be dogs.
2 hours
Trakai Island CastleTrakai
A red-brick fourteenth-century castle on an island in a lake, reached by footbridge, half an hour from Vilnius. The town is also the home of the Karaim community and their kibinai.
half a day
KernavėKernavė
A UNESCO archaeological site of five hillforts stepping down to the Neris valley, the seat of the early Lithuanian state and almost empty of visitors compared with Trakai.
half a day
KaunasKaunas
The interwar capital, and the reason it holds an exceptional stock of 1920s and 1930s modernist architecture recognised at European level. Add the Ninth Fort on the edge of the city, a Holocaust site and memorial.
two days
Hill of Crossesnear Šiauliai
A mound covered in an uncountable number of crosses, left by pilgrims and repeatedly bulldozed under Soviet rule and rebuilt each time. Quiet, strange and unlike any other site in the Baltics.
2 hours
Curonian SpitNida and Juodkrantė
A UNESCO-listed sand spit of shifting dunes and pine forest between the lagoon and the sea, with the Parnidis dune above Nida and the carved Hill of Witches at Juodkrantė. Reached by ferry from Klaipėda.
two days · boka i förväg
KlaipėdaKlaipėda
The port city, German for most of its history as Memel, with a half-timbered old town, the Lithuanian Sea Museum out at Smiltynė and the ferries to the spit.
a day
Plokštinė missile baseŽemaitija National Park
A decommissioned Soviet underground nuclear missile site, the silos open to visitors, in the forest beside Lake Plateliai. As cold-war a place as you can stand in.
half a day
Grūtas Parknear Druskininkai
Soviet statues removed from public squares across the country, collected in woodland with the ideological apparatus that surrounded them. Deliberately uncomfortable and much argued over locally.
half a day
Intercity coach
The dominant intercity mode, reaching almost every town from the autobusų stotis in each city. Vilnius to Kaunas runs constantly and needs no planning.
low
Train
LTG Link runs a small network — Vilnius to Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai and Trakai. It is comfortable and often quicker than the coach on those routes, but does not reach much else.
low
Vilnius city transport
Buses and trolleybuses cover the city. Tickets are bought through the city transport app or loaded onto a rechargeable card and validated when you board; buying from the driver costs more.
very low
Ferry to the Curonian Spit
Two crossings from Klaipėda: a short passenger ferry from the old town quay, and a separate vehicle ferry from the Smiltynė terminal further south. Cars entering the national park pay an environmental charge on top of the fare.
low on foot, more with a car
Car hire
Roads are good and distances short; the A1 links Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda. A car is what makes Žemaitija, the Hill of Crosses and the Aukštaitija lakes practical in one trip.
moderate
Samåkningstjänster
Bolt
Bolt is what people actually use, in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda and the larger towns, and it is inexpensive. Do not assume Uber will be there. Street taxis exist but the app is cheaper and removes any argument about the fare.
