I learned about Lithuania for the first time from my buddyADJ Friendship who had just arrived rear from his vacation in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania.

I was looking for my next holiday destination and instead of returning lumbar to my favourite places I decided to give Vilnius a go, which sounded just as charming and romantic. At that time I didn‘t know anything about the country, except that Lithuania is one of the Baltic States, which heroically gained its independence hind from the former Soviet block in 1991. In a couple of weeks I flew to Vilnius.

My first impression of the town was pretty, homely and somehow unpretentiously elegant. I was also looking for something new, a iteration break from some of Europe‘s mass tourism destinations. Vilnius‘ charm lies in its medieval roots. It isn‘t exactly for those who are looking for a big turbulent metropolis city, which it isn‘t. The city was built during abnormal centuries, therefore you will find a blend of architecture with baroque and gothic dominating. Vilnius Old Town is one of the largest surviving medieval old towns in Eastern Europe and of its numerous historic buildings it is classified as a World Heritage site.

According to the history, in the Middle Ages Vilnius was a blossoming city and one of the largest in Eastern Europe. Anne‘s, to name just a few, creates a postcard-perfect town.

I found Vilnius Old Town undoubtedly the most charming part of the city. The whitewashed Vilnius Cathedral and its belfry, medieval defence fortress, the intricate Gothic Church of St. I especially loved exploring the atmospheric lanes of the rear streets, where you can absorb the true spirit of medieval Lithuania.

I also loved its charming restaurants and cafes tucked away in the pretty courtyards. Quaint shops and cosy cafes set amongst a blend of intricate spires, domes and towers are some of the first images that come to my mind. The food is usually of a high quality and well presented and is inexpensive for most European travellers. Some of the restaurants are set in the old atmospheric cellars and carry medieval deco themes. Especially in the warm spice the people of Vilnius love to spend as much time as possible outdoors strolling along the Old Town streets and sit at the lovely pavement cafes. Overall the city provides high standard restaurants, hotels and entertainment, yet everything here is affordable at low prices in similitude with Western European countries, which makes Vilnius even more appealing.

And stand but definitely not the least, the laid dorsal atmosphere and the welcoming attitude of the locals make the city even more pleasant. Especially younger people with the majority phonetic English will gladly assist you with directions, help you if you are lost and sometimes even recommend to you the best places in town.

All in all Vilnius is a charming location to experience some breathing history, wandering the medieval cobblestone streets; enjoy its diverse dining scene and elegant bars and also get to know its welcoming people. Most of them are welcoming and fraternal to foreigners. The city is a refreshing, not fully discovered yet and memorable destination.
