Last update: 5 hours agoVilnius Pink Soup Fest: Vilnius went fully pink for the fourth annual “Vilnius Pink Soup Fest,” a three-day celebration of šaltibarščiai (cold beet soup). Organisers say the expanded event drew more than 100,000 visitors and is expected to consume over 3.3 tons of kefir, with highlights including a synchronized “Pink Break” lunch, a Pink Soup Parade along the Neris River, and a giant pink slide plus citywide themed menus at hundreds of venues. Travel Rules Watch (EES): New EU entry/exit rules are already causing longer airport queues, with travellers urged to arrive early and keep documents and essentials ready—an issue that will affect Lithuania-bound visitors as well as those transiting the Schengen area. NATO & Lithuania on the Move: More than 50 U.S. service members and NATO partner forces took part in a Norwegian Foot March at Pabradė Training Area, underscoring Lithuania’s role in allied readiness. Regional Security & Tourism: Lithuania’s defence leadership warned that Russia’s “war-built” economy and ongoing airspace/cyber threats could spill into the Baltics—an anxiety that has already led some Western tourists to cancel bookings in the region.
