Molėtai district municipality is one of 60 municipalities in Lithuania.
Molėtai is known for its lakes. There are about 220 lakes in the district and they cover about 7% of the total territory. Since it is only about 60 km north of Vilnius, the capital city, many Vilnians go there to rest and own summer houses. It is easy to reach Molėtai because there is a highway connecting Vilnius and Utena which divides the district intwo almost equal parts. Since there is little industry, the district is proud of clean natural resources. The land is not very fertile, thus now the district's government is focused to develop tourism industry.
Another treasure of the district is forests which cover about 26.6% of the territory.
