Lithuania is the biggest Baltic country. It is situated between Estonia and Russia and is almost 90 per cent wooded.

You know, there is Latvia nearby. And Lithuania has no boarder with Estonia.
And wooded is only ~30%

July is the warmest, but also the wettest, month of the year. The best time to visit Lithuania is during spring or autumn.

July is not the wettest month. And best time is summer.

Not far from Vilnius, there is the former concentration camp of Paneriai, which has now been turned into a museum.

There never was a concentration camp in Paneriai.

There are more wrong facts than right ones.

I assume you are definately NOT aware about what happened at Paneriai...

)

Does wikipedia mention a concentration camp? Mass murder site means they were brought there, shot and buried, not kept there. There were no buildings on the site.

Maybe you can send this to b.air and ask them to correct the facts?

Lithuanian ambassy already did that. All our press has this news about Brussels airlines and also about Le Soir encyclopedia, which states that our agriculture is based on growing potatos to make vodka and other just as correct information.

I visited Lithuania last weekend on airBaltic (excellent experience, excellent airline!) and was very impressed. Vilnius is a lovely small city which I'd strongly recommended. I'm surprised they mention Paneriai in this Brussels Airlines blurb - surely there are better things to suggest to prospective tourists, like Trakai...
