Vilnius is not only the largest city in Lithuania but also serves as the political, economic, and cultural hub of the nation. Other significant cities include Kaunas, which played a pivotal role during the interwar period, and Klaipėda, the country's main seaport. The Lithuanian language, one of the oldest languages in Europe, adds to the rich cultural tapestry, along with traditions in music, literature, and visual arts.
