Things to do while in Lentvaris, Lithuania:

•Old Building of the Train Station– although it is merely a train station to many, it serves as an important landmark in the history of railroad. T was constructed way back in 1862 and was the first train station in Lithuanian territory. It still has that old red brick literature. Inside the building are some information on the history and paintings of railroads and trains.

It is said that his best designed parks can be found in Lithuania (Traku Voke, Planga, Uzutrakis, and of course Lentvaris). Make sure not to miss visiting the park for a chance to unwind.

•The Palace of Tiskevicius– the Red Palace of Tiskevicius has an English neo-Gothic style, an architectural style that’s quite rare in Lithuania. The palace stands on the banks of Lentvaris Lake.
