Lithuania
The largest of the 3 Baltic states, Lithuania is a treasure of a country with its beautiful coast, white sandy beaches, stunning nature, crystal clear lakes, green forests that stretch forever and to top it all, Vilnius, a true gem, a Unesco World Heritage Site, with cobbled streets, old churches, lovely restaurants and an artist's centre. It is the largest Old Town in Eastern Europe with an impressive complex of Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and classical buildings. Lithuania is among Top5 countries for Hot Air Ballooning, the only country in Eastern Europe where a castle is built on an island and is famous for its amber coastal stretch – the country to get yourself some golden jewellery!

Conferences
Lithuania offers a range of meeting facilities for international conferences, corporate meetings, seminars, product launches and business events.
Vilnius provides the greatest choice, with convention facilities, international hotels and unusual venues ranging from historic buildings to cultural spaces. Its compact centre also makes it practical to combine meetings with restaurants, attractions and evening events.
Kaunas provides an alternative urban setting, while smaller destinations and countryside properties can work well for executive meetings, retreats and smaller corporate groups.
For planners looking for something beyond a conventional conference venue, Lithuania offers historic castles, mansions, cultural spaces and distinctive locations that can be incorporated into the wider event programme.
Goal Events can coordinate the complete meeting or conference programme, from venue and accommodation sourcing to transportation, activities, catering and evening events.
Incentives
The geographical centre of Europe – Lithuania, makes a great location for Incentive events at any time of the year. It stands out as a country of perfect peace and the absolute harmony of people and nature.
Traditional Sea Festivals, sailing regattas, finding an amber cast at the shore of the famous Curonian Spit (one of the largest travelling sand dunes in Europe) is an everyday joy for Lithuanians and indeed for visitors too.
Of all three Baltic States, Lithuania is most well-known for its mix of modern and classical buildings across the country, which prove most popular among foreign visitors and location for special Gala dinners – castles, renovated mansions, parks, orangeries, not to mention the Baroque style Old Town of the capital, Vilnius, alongside other towns. Did we mention Hot Air Balloons? Lithuania is famous for it. When weather conditions are favourable hot-air balloons can take off and land in the very centre of the city.
