	*Useful information about Lithuania* Full country name: Republic of Lithuania Area: 65,200 sq km Population: 3.7 million Language: Lithuanian, Russian, English Government: Parliamentary democracy Head of State: President
	About Lithuania: Lithuania is becoming a Baltic and European treasure far more lovely than the amber jewel that is so prominent along its coastline. Far more tasty and intoxicating than its award winning beers... A far more fun than a barrel of monkeys, drinking a barrel of that beer! The details of all that good stuff is inside and, better yet, if you are visiting from an EU country, it's very likely that you will not have to leave... unless you get impeached. About Vilnius: For outsiders anyway, Vilnius is a hard city to pin down. It's not quite Eastern European, not quite Scandinavian, not Russian, and not German. It's not even quite Lithuanian. This ambiguity, the diversity of influences, actually gives the city its unique character and charm. As many travel writers are prone to pointing out, Lithuania's capital has a certain earthiness that both Riga and Tallinn lack. For this and other reasons, many visitors to the region tend to fall madly in love with Vilnius, pegging it as their favourite Baltic city of them all. As London's Sunday Times recently commented: "Vilnius may be the most underrated capital in all of Eastern Europe." Visas: More and more countries are signing visa-free travel agreements with Lithuania. To date these include Australia, Canada, Eire, New Zealand, Switzerland and the US, plus the EU and Nordic countries. All visitors planning on staying for more than 90 days need to apply for either a residence or work permit. Language: According to the late French linguist Antoine Meilet (1866-1936) "If one wants to know how our ancestors spoke, he has to come and hear the Lithuanian country people speaking". As true now as it was in his day, this comment works just as well if applied to city folk. Some basic Lithuanian words:
