Vilnius is a city best known for its historical charm, particularly its Unesco-listed Old Town. Yet there are few European capitals modernising quite so rapidly.

Why exhibit there?

Intensive industrialization during the Soviet regime resulted in companies specializing in electronics, chemicals, machine tools, food processing, metal processing, and construction materials. The fastest-growing segment in Lithuanian economy is currently services.

Getting there

Once you land at Vilnius International Airport, there is a dedicated train "Vilnius-Airport" that runs regularly into town to Vilnius central railway station. The train shuttles 16 times a day and takes 7 minutes to go from the airport to the railway station.

Key tourist activities

Vilnius looks spectacular from above. The loveliest panorama in the city, particularly at sunset, is from the Three Crosses.

Try a local delicacy - there are two dishes that dominate dining here: cepelinai and kibinai. The first are zeppelin-shaped dumplings of grated potato, stuffed with mince or curd, slathered in sour cream and served on huge plates. The other are traditional pastries.

Restaurants

• Gaspar’s is one of the top restaurants in Lithuania’s capital. Their menu includes halloumi salad, creamy polenta and duck.

5. Cultural sensitivities:

• Lithuanians are very proud of themselves and their country, it is not acceptable to criticise them, their government or the economic situation, even as a joke.


• Avoid kissing when greeting a person that you do not know well, a handshake is far more common and appropriate.
