GET TO KNOW AUSTRIA AND LITHUANIA

Austria, a landlocked gem in Central Europe, is nestled within the stunning Alps, with only 32% of its land lying below 500 meters in elevation. While it may not have coastal beaches, Austria boasts an abundance of scenic lakes and waterfalls, offering water lovers a refreshing, salt-free alternative.

Vienna, the capital, is nothing short of enchanting. The city’s charm is undeniable—it’s where the very first snow globe was crafted (a personal favorite!), and it’s close to where The Sound of Music was filmed. Vienna’s magic extends beyond its beauty, as it consistently ranks among the World’s Most Liveable Cities.

Lithuania, located in Northern Europe, is home to Vilnius, a city renowned for having one of the most beautiful old towns in Europe. With just 1,969 steps, you can explore the main attractions of this UNESCO-listed gem, making it the most walkable town in Europe. In this short stroll, you’ll encounter stunning baroque architecture, lush greenery, and artistic spaces. If you're up for a slightly longer walk, a quick 7,000 steps will lead you to magnificent churches and the serene Neris River. Just 4,000 more steps, and you can embark on an exciting archaeological adventure, perfect for families.
