What is the Lithuanian-Italian amber connection?
The ancient Amber Road connected the Baltic coast (including Lithuanian territory) to the Mediterranean via a 5,000 km trade route. Baltic amber (succinite) found in Roman archaeological sites demonstrates trade going back thousands of years. Italian jewelers prize Baltic amber, and Lithuanian amber jewelry is one of the country's premier artisan exports.
What are the must-see sights in Rome?
The Colosseum and Roman Forum (pre-book online, essential), Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel (pre-book months in advance in peak season), St. Peter's Basilica (free entry), the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, and Villa Borghese Gallery (pre-book, one of the world's finest art collections). Rome rewards taking 4 to 5 days minimum.
How do I get from Vilnius to Italy?

Arancini (fried stuffed rice balls, a Sicilian street food), cacio e pepe (Rome's extraordinary pasta of cheese and black pepper), ribollita (Tuscan bread and vegetable stew), bistecca alla Fiorentina (Florence's legendary T-bone steak), grilled sardines in Sicily, and tiramisù in the Veneto. Regional Italian cuisine is vastly different from north to south.
