Lithuania [?l??u'e?ni?], officially the Republic of Lithuania (Lithuanian Lietuvos Respublika) is a country in Northern Europe [2] Situated along the southeastern shore of the Baltic Sea, it shares borders with Latvia to the north, Belarus to the southeast, Poland, and the Russian exclave of the Kaliningrad Oblast to the southwest. Lithuania is a member of NATO and of the European Union. Its population is 3.4 million. Its capital and largest city is Vilnius.

During the 14th century, Lithuania was the largest country in Europe present-day Belarus, Ukraine, and parts of Poland and Russia were territories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. With the Lublin Union of 1569 Poland and Lithuania formed a new state, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Commonwealth lasted more than two centuries, until neighboring countries systematically dismantled it from 1772 to 1795, with the Russian Empire annexing most of Lithuania's territory. In the wake of the First World War, Lithuania's Act of Independence was signed on February 16, 1918, declaring the re-establishment of a sovereign state. Starting in 1940, Lithuania was occupied first by the Soviet Union then Nazi Germany. As World War II neared its end in 1944 and the Nazis retreated, the Soviet Union reoccupied Lithuania. On March 11, 1990, Lithuania became the first Soviet republic to declare its renewed independence.

Present-day Lithuania has one of the fastest growing economies in the European Union. Lithuania became a full member of the Schengen Agreement on 21 December 2007.[3] In 2009, Lithuania will celebrate the millennium of its name.

The first written mention of Lithuania is found in a medieval German manuscript, the Quedlinburg Chronicle, on 14 February 1009. The Lithuanian lands were united by Mindaugas in 1236, and neighbouring countries referred to it as "the state of Lithuania." The official coronation of Mindaugas as King of Lithuania was on July 6, 1253, and the official recognition of Lithuanian statehood as the Kingdom of Lithuania.[4]

There is very interesting definition of cities in Lithuania. As per parliament of Lithuanian a city is defined as the compact areas populated by more than three thousand people.

Thus as per definition; there are 103 cities in Lithuania. Smaller settlements in Lithuania like ‘town’ is known as ‘miestelis’ and villages are known as ‘kaimas’.

12. Advice on Buying Lithuania Property
July 28, 2007

The good news now is that foreigners rarely get fleeced when buying property in Lithuania. The procedure of property purchase isn’t as rigid as in the older countries, it is though relatively straightforward. Unlike other countries where an asking price can be a starting figure in the Baltic States the asking property price is usually very close to the selling price if not the actual price itself. There is a building boom in the Baltic States with estimates of some 3000 properties per year needed to keep up with demand; with so much property growth going on there isn’t much room to haggle.

In Rome, I used my basic Italian. Grazie, per favore and so on. We visited the Roman forum, hung out in chic cafes and said buongiorno and buonasera to anyone who would listen. In Madrid, we visited art galleries, used ... (read more)

The Lithuanian capital Vilnius has long considered as a hidden gem within Eastern Europe, with a blend of modern amenities amidst a historical setting.

Thus, stag nights in Vilnius are bound to be nothing short of extensive.
