Living in LT for 2 months

10 years ago

I currently live near Washington DC, male, 45. I was raised in Lithuanian culture and understand the language. My speaking skills are rusty but they easily improve.

I am interested in visiting Lithuania for two months starting around April/May 2014. My purpose is sight-seeing throughout the county, visiting family, and perhaps some cultural reconnection.

I'm thinking about staying in Vilnius in Old Town. Vilnius because it's perhaps the most urban and Old Town because I'd like to leisurely explore on foot and public transportation. However, I'd like to visit other parts of the country as well. Given this my questions are:

1. Is Old Town a good choice? I've viewed rental advertisments on the internet and the prices/accomodations seems reasonable. Any areas to be wary of? Any recommendations on particular areas? Is Old Town a good choice for a 2 month stay?

2. Will car rental be a problem? Is it expensive or complicated? I've also read and heard from people that car theft can be a problem.

P.S. I've read every post on this blog and the postings have shown me what to expect when I arrive. Thanks to *everyone* for taking time to help others.
