UNESCO Sites In Lithuania

Table of Contents

Lithuania UNESCO has registered 4 sites on the World Heritage list and 2 on the tentative list.

Some places are so interesting that it’s relevant to keep them for future generations. This is why UNESCO has built a list of crucial classified properties in which superb places stand out for their aesthetic, natural, artistic, or cultural significance.

More than a thousand places are registered as Unesco’s World Heritage worldwide. Due to my interest in visiting World Heritage sites, I compiled the UNESCO list in Lithuania and the corresponding map.
