About Lithuania
This Lithuania guide uses six authority records checked on September 8, 2026. The European Union profile names Vilnius as the capital and Lithuanian as the official EU language. The other records cover a World Heritage place, song and dance celebrations, Sutartinės, the euro changeover, and sodai straw gardens. Each lesson keeps a source, date, and narrow claim together.
