Tour to Lithuania and visit Kernave

Tour to Lithuania and visit Kernave Kernavė, the first capital of Lithuania, is a special place still featuring a unique though extinct cultural tradition and civilization as well as important stages in the history of humankind. During european independent tours to Lithuania on european tour packages created by trip planner we recommend visit to city Kernave UNESCO Heritage . This justifies the inscription of this complex of five fort-hills used for defence on the UNESCO World Heritage Masterpiece List. Only here you will experience a strong sense of the prehistory of the Balts and the beginning of the Lithuanian State, with unique traces of different cultures dating back to the period between the10th millennium BC and the early Middle Ages. The 13th century was the golden age for Kernavė, which was the capital of Lithuania at that time. During the crusader assault in 1390, this Lithuanian Troy was totally burned down. It is amazing that the cultural layers from the 14th century survived undamaged until today. They reveal priceless information which reaches us thanks to systematic archaeological research in the territory of Lithuania’s first capital. Kernavė Museum of Archaeology and History stores a wealth of unique findings.
