Where my grandparents are from. Nice to see.

Great watch, but just because it's a bit of a sensitive subject in Eastern Europe, I thought I'd correct you guys. 11:30 The Soviet Union didn't exist until after the first World War. Lithuania gained it's independence back from the Russians two times, once after the first World War in 1918, and the second time after the Soviet Union started collapsing in 1991. Before 1918, it was the Tsarist Russia that had occupied us. Minor mistake, but people in these regions are a bit touchy with that subject, and hey, the more knowledge, the better, right? :)

Yay, glad you guys enjoyed Lithuania. We have been living here in our van for the last month! On your way back through, make sure you head to Palanga and Nida, if you go via the coast. If you come back across more inland, head to the Hill Of Crosses! Check out our videos of Lithuania too and send us a message if you have any questions! We leave on Tuesday to head back to UK so doubt we'll cross paths but enjoy Latvia and Estonia too :) Sam (UK) & Gabija (LT)

Amazing video! If you will go back to Lithuania, I highly suggest visiting the city of Palanga (sometimes called the Lithuanian capital of summer) and of course one of the most beautiful places in Lithuania - The Curonian Spit (Kuršių nerija), The Dead Dunes and the village of Nida. Wish you safe travels!

@@nextstopevwhere Lithuanians likes to exaggerate stuff when it comes to language because Lithuanian isnt older (more archaic) than Sanskrit, but Lithuanian is considered to be the most archaic of the living indo-european languages. But its still really amazing that your grand grand ancestors (and by grand grand i mean like thousand years ago) spoke something similar to what you heard in Lithuania (because English as an indo-european language changed the most probably).

@@nextstopevwhere Lithuanian & Latvian are the only two languages left alive till today from Indo-Europian Families Baltic l-ge group, there were other l-ges in this group like Prussian for example but they died already many centuries ago. If we talking about mother of all languages Sanscrit than really you can find the most similarities with it in Lithuanian language, that really hasn`t undergone that much changes and is considered really archaistic. Actually similarity with Sanskrit you can still find also in the Latvian language nevertheless that it has much more transformed and influenced of other languages like German, Swedish (Riga used to be the biggest city of Sweden) even Finno-Ugric Language Family. Latvian l-ge is easier to learn for foreigners, but also not the easiest l-ge. A large amount of Russian speaking population living in Latvia have difficulties to manage language or they simply don`t want to learn. Well, the younger population have to learn that at least at school.

Drivers here can sometimes be annoying especially around the borders as you see people speeding at 110km/h while the speed limit is 70 but in general that's only a concern if you're driving a light vehicle :) However though, recently speeding fines have been a lot more strict as there's been a lot more radars built and portable ones stationed across major cities so driving culture is policed a lot more compared to how it was 10 years ago I honestly don't think you should have a problem at all! Good luck!

Gražu! Love the vids! Great content 👍 hope to improve and create amazing content such as this!

Woah, It's so green here.I live in south lithuania and we are suffering from a drought

Actually inside of Grand Dukes Palace were opened in 2013, but it took more 5 years to finish all things needed to be done. In 2013 Lithuania took action as presidency of EU and in that palace were organised various events like Ukraine attempt to join EU, but at the time because of huge influence of Russia, president of Ukraine didn't signed the agreement which would let Ukraine to start process of joining EU, after that Ukrainians were really mad and started some kind of revolution.

The randomest videos KZread suggests me... Although, as lithuanian I did enjoy it a lot. The language bit is a bit inaccurate though. It is related to sanskrit, and sanskrit did not develop from it. Language itself is over 5000 years old, still retaining lots of archaic rules in it that only we use. Though sadly, we did not have our own written alphabet until 16th century.

Glad you visiting Lithuania. I want to give some advice to let you see more and the other side of Lithuania. I've created a github open page github.com/navidonskis/awesome-lithuania with suggestions of view points. And in the link of lietuvon.lt you could find free markers in Google maps. Enjoy!
