Is Lithuania affordable for Chinese tourists?
Yes. Lithuania is one of the more affordable EU countries for tourists. Hotel, food, and transport costs are significantly lower than Western European capitals. Vilnius in particular offers good value for money with a wide range of accommodation and dining options at competitive prices.
What is the best way to do a Baltic triangle trip from China?
Fly into Riga (best international connections) or Vilnius (direct flights from some Chinese cities). Travel by FlixBus or Lux Express bus between all three Baltic capitals (each leg is 4 to 5 hours). Explore Vilnius (Lithuania), Riga (Latvia), and Tallinn (Estonia) before taking a 2-hour ferry to Helsinki, Finland, for a combined Baltic-Nordic itinerary on a single Schengen visa.
