Planning Resources:
Accommodation – I always check these three websites to see my options when booking hotels or apartments to stay in : Booking.com, Airbnb.com and Expedia.com (includes VRBO & Hotels.com)
Tours – When searching for activities and tours, I use Viator and Get Your Guide
Transportation – I stalk Google Flights for both domestic and international flights. For trains, Eurail for multi-day passes and Trainline for one-off train tickets. I often use Enterprise for rental cars, but will go with any reputable company that offers a good deal.
Lithuania’s Best Hidden Gem – the sand dunes of Curonian Spit National Park stretch out into the Baltic Sea on a thin strip of land. The natural beauty of the dunes and the sea are unmatched. Perfect for a summer getaway!
