Maximize your last day in Lithuania and go on a shopping spree in Vilnius’s shopping center, the lively Gedimino Avenue. Browse for souvenirs to remind you of your wonderful journey in Lithuania. Take one last moment to soak in Lithuania, and unwind with tea or coffee at a cozy cafe.
If you're up for some more sightseeing, we recommend visiting Three Crosses Monument, a history-steeped monument before you head out.
Get a last taste of Lithuania’s tasty traditional food. Choose from a curated list of the best local food and drink spots in Vilnius and enjoy what may be your last vacation meal of this trip. Look forward to recreating these distinct culinary experiences in your own kitchen later to remind you of your unforgettable road trip across Lithuania and Latvia.
If you're in the mood to try something new, consider Carré Bar & Lounge, another top spot with a mouthwatering menu.
The time has come to say farewell to Vilnius for now. You will realize that you’re traveling home with more than you came with as you look back at your 14-day European road trip in Lithuania and Latvia with fond memories. Safe travels!
