Lithuania travel and shopping guide? What to buy when traveling to Lithuania?

Shopping Guide Lithuania’s most famous natural amber is undoubtedly amber. 95% of the world’s amber reserves are in Kaliningrad and Lithuania. In coastal areas, amber is sometimes washed ashore by the sea and can be found everywhere on the beach. However, raw amber needs to be polished before it can be turned into a piece of jewelry. In Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, there are many amber stores, and street stalls also sell amber ornaments, which can be purchased as souvenirs. Lithuania restricts the export of amber, but a few souvenirs or gift necklaces are fine, as long as the price does not exceed $250. The carrier must first obtain a license from the Lithuanian Ministry of Culture. If you want to export artwork from 50 years ago, you will need to pay a tax of 10%-20%. Other souvenirs include wood carvings, wine glasses, plates and some authentic ornaments, as well as some items from Russia that are not strictly attractive.
