In Closing

Tourism in contributed a lot to renewing the momentum of the once booming economy.

Maybe, like Napoleon, you will find it difficult to leave Lithuania behind.

Napoleon Bonaparte once traversed the streets of Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, and doted on its stunning architecture and antiquities. One particular landmark that he loved so much that he wanted to bring it to Paris in the palm of his hand, is the beautiful St. Anne's Church, a flamboyant gothic style of architecture that is very singular in its charming facade and mystifying interiors. This well loved tourist attraction in Lithuania is only one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Lithuania. Otherinteresting sites include: The Curonian Spit, Kernave Archaeological Site, The Hill of Crosses, and the Zemaiciu Kalvarija, a well-known pilgrimage destination that draws thousands of visitors to celebrate the country's largest church festival in July.
