Lithuania Travel Podcast with Tomas Kazlauskas

The show follows one person settling into Lithuania rather than passing through it. The country is lowland, with many small lakes, fertile soil and hilly uplands made of ancient glacial deposits, so journeys are shaped by modest terrain rather than dramatic peaks. That makes travelling here a matter of noticing gradual transitions and the wet, moderate weather. He covers Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipeda, and then moves beyond the obvious into Aukštaitija, with its lakes and glacial ridges, and the flat, wet Nemunas Delta near the coast. The range shows the country's even settlement and the contrast between southern cities, western port and rural lowlands. The episodes follow the Lithuanian calendar, moving through wet, moderate winters and summers with a climate that sits between maritime and continental. Places are revisited at different times of year, so a lake in Aukštaitija or a street in Kaunas changes in meaning. Knowing a place properly takes that kind of return. Tomas Kazlauskas lives in Lithuania and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Tomas is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement. A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers. ☕ Enjoying the show?
