On the first Saturday in May thousands of people go out to the streets to play music. Street Musician Day is the event which unites all who speak the world’s most universal language - the language of music. In response to the invitation from musician and actor Andrius Mamontovas, professional and amateur musicians flood into the streets, yards, parks and squares of Vilnius. Armed with a variety of musical instruments, they play rock, classics, jazz, avant-garde and folklore and beat African rhythms. On this day all Lithuanian cities and towns engage into the fest of free creation and socialising between musicians and the public. In 2007, 295 groups obtained permits to play on the streets and Street Musician Day involved about 600 street-players. In 2008, Street Musician Day erupted all across Lithuania with more than 3,000 musicians playing in the capital and 31 other cities and towns. Street Musician Day in 2009 will involve Lithuanians living all over the world playing jazz, rock, classics, rhythms and folk music out on the streets.

In 2009 go for a long drive at the Vilnius Golf Club – the first Golf course in the Baltic States designed by the PGA Design consultants. The Course is situated in the beautiful grounds adjacent to Le Méridien Vilnius.
This magnificent course has been constructed to US Golf Association greens specification. The course measures 6377 meters of the championship tees with multiple tees to suit all golfers. This par 72 course is truly world class! The 18-hole championship course weaves its way through mature birch and pine forests rich with wildflower meadows all of which was taken into consideration in the design strategy. A number of strategically placed water features make for a very much risk and reward decision for any golfer. Complementing the golf course is the 20 bay driving range, short game area, putting green, golf academy with private coaching rooms equipped with the latest technology and PGA instructors offering specialists coaching programmes.
Green fee (for those, who have Green card or HCP card) in Euros

Deluge of articles in Italian press rave about Lithuania
Italian tourists appear to be very interested in Vilnius and Lithuania this year, if the recent publication of around 150 articles in Italian newspapers and magazines are anything to go by.
Few of the articles mention the impact of the economic crisis on Lithuania, the severe lack of funding for European Capital of Culture events or the bankruptcy of the national flag carrier flyLAL.
Instead, they describe the country’s high Internet usage, the stunning Baroque architecture and the decent beer. Last year, Lithuania welcomed a record number of Italian tourists, almost 30,000 of them.
Considering the continuing flow of articles in the press, that number could even increase this year.
Lituania – nuova ed inaspettata
Un caloroso saluto a voi che desiderate conoscere il nostro paese, le sue
abitudini, le tradizioni e le numerose opportunità turistiche più da vicino!
Nella mappa dei paesi Europei la Lituania è uno stato nuovo, tuttavia ha delle radici storiche profonde. Nel 2009 la Lituania celebrerà il millenario del suo nome. Se ne riscontra traccia, infatti, riconducibile a fonti storiche esattamente mille anni fa nella (cronaca di Kvedlinburgo).
Nel passato anche il nostro paese è stato teatro di guerre ed occupazioni, ma ha saputo conservare la su lingua, la sua cultura ed i suoi costumi. Il ricco patrimonio storico culturale, la natura incontaminata, l’accoglienza e l’ospitalità degli abitanti sono valori condivisi con tutti coloro che ogni anno con maggior interesse ci fanno visita.Le mete d’ampio interesse turistico culturale sono i centri storici di Vilniu
s, Kaunas, Klaipėda e Kėdainiai, il patrimonio storico delle antiche capitali Kernavė e Trakai, con la loro incantevole eredità barocca, le corti ed i castelli. Gli amanti della natura saranno incantati da un territorio impreziosito da tantissimi laghi, boschi, paesaggi emozionanti e la bellezza unica della penisola dei Curoni.
Gli scienziati dell’Istituto di Geografia Nazionale francese nel 1989 hanno stabilito che la Lituania è situata nell’esatto centro geografico d’Europa. Questa interessante singolarità la include nel Guinness dei primati mondiali.
Vi invitiamo pertanto con sincero calore a visitare il nostro paese per conoscere tutto quello che di esclusivo vi può offrire! Avrete modo di vivere indimenticabili esperienze, che sicuramente vi condurranno più volte nella nostra affascinante e magica nazione.
