Current Travel Situation
Kenya to Lithuania: What You Need to Know
Lithuania is a Schengen member: a Lithuanian Schengen visa grants access to all 27 Schengen countries. The Schengen fee is €90 since June 2024. Lithuania joined the eurozone in 2015. The Baltic states (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia) are often visited together on one Schengen trip. Lithuania has the most diverse landscape of the three Baltic states, with a lengthy Baltic coast, the Curonian Spit UNESCO site, and a vibrant capital in Vilnius with well-preserved Baroque architecture. The Lithuanian Embassy or VFS Global handles applications for Kenya.
How to Get There
No direct flights connect Nairobi (NBO) to Vilnius Airport (VNO). Common routings go via Warsaw (WAW) with LOT Polish Airlines, or via Frankfurt (FRA), Amsterdam (AMS), or Helsinki (HEL) with connections. Ryanair operates from Vilnius to many European cities. Kenya Airways and Ethiopian Airlines via ADD connect to European hubs. Total journey time is typically 16 to 20 hours.
Money & Banking
Lithuania uses the euro (EUR). Visa and Mastercard are accepted widely. Lithuania is one of the more affordable eurozone destinations: Vilnius accommodation from €35 per night, meals from €8 to €14. The Curonian Spit (Nida) is particularly affordable outside peak summer. ATMs are available in cities and towns. Lithuania has a growing craft beer scene with reasonable pub prices.
Practical Tips
Vilnius Old Town is one of Europe's largest and best-preserved Baroque old towns (UNESCO). Trakai Island Castle, 30 minutes from Vilnius, is set on a lake and is Lithuania's most photographed landmark. The Curonian Spit (shared with Russia) is a UNESCO-listed narrow sand peninsula with tall dunes and pine forests. Kaunas is Lithuania's second city with interwar modernist architecture. The Hill of Crosses near Siauliai is a remarkable pilgrimage site with over 100,000 crosses. Lithuania was the last European country to officially convert to Christianity, and pre-Christian traditions remain in folklore.
