Accommodation Hotels Since independence, western-style hotels and motels have been built in Lithuania in cooperation with foreign firms. Modernisation and renovation programmes are generally concentrated in Vilnius. All major hotels in Kaunas are concentrated in the centre of the town. Meanwhile, Vilnius and the other major centres in the country enjoy an adequate range of good accommodation including large hotels and smaller pensions. A star grading system is in force. For further details, contact the Lithuanian State Department of Tourism (see Contact Addresses section) or the Lithuanian Hotel and Restaurant Association, Jasinsjio 16, Vilnius (tel/fax: (5) 249 7478; e-mail: lvra@mail.lt; website: www.lvra.lt). Private rooms Travel agencies can arrange rental of rooms in private homes as well as houses. This is especially popular in resort regions. Self-catering apartments in Vilnius can also be rented (tel: (6) 824 1569 or 987 1344; website: www.oldtown-apartments.com). Camping Campsites are not numerous. The majority of them are located in the most picturesque regions: Palanga (on the shore of the Baltic Sea), Trakai (lake district) and near larger towns. There are three sites in close proximity to Vilnius. Pitching a tent is permitted at the majority of Lithuanian lakes and rivers (including the National Park) for a small fee, but almost no other facilities are provided at these sites. Youth hostels There are currently about five hostels in Lithuania. For further information, contact Lithuanian Youth Hostels, Ausros Vartu 20-15, 2001 Vilnius (tel: (5) 262 5357; e-mail: booking@lithuanianhostels.org; website: www.lithuanianhostels.org). |
