#cityplaybook #familytrip #localguides #postandearn Vilnius, Lithuania's capital, is a city that effortlessly blends history, art, and a bit of mystery. When I arrived, I was instantly charmed by its combination of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture that surrounds every cobbled street. Vilnius feels like an undiscovered treasure—it's full of stunning sights but hasn’t been overrun by mass tourism. A stroll through the Old Town—a UNESCO World Heritage site—is a must. From the towering Vilnius Cathedral to the serene Bernardine Gardens, the city exudes a quiet grandeur. I loved walking through the narrow streets, discovering hidden courtyards, and stumbling upon charming cafes serving Lithuanian pastries. One of the highlights of my trip was visiting Užupis, a quirky, artistic neighborhood that declared itself an independent republic. The walls here are painted with strange and wonderful art, and the atmosphere is bohemian—full of free spirits, street performers, and local artists. I couldn’t resist spending a few hours soaking in the creativity and unique vibe. Gediminas' Tower offers panoramic views of the city and the surrounding lush greenery—perfect for an afternoon hike. As I sat on the hilltop, I realized just how connected Vilnius is to nature, which is rare in many capital cities. Best Time to Visit: May to September: Warm weather and outdoor festivals, especially in July when Vilnius hosts the Vilnius Festival. Winter: Vilnius’ Christmas markets are a winter wonderland, with festive lights and local treats like šakotis (tree cake). Travel Tips: Don't miss the Vilnius University—one of the oldest in Eastern Europe, with stunning courtyards. Try Cepelinai—Lithuanian dumplings filled with meat or potatoes. Spend time at the Museum of Occupations and Freedom Fights to understand Lithuania’s Soviet past.

Time: 2023/12/8 20:00 Venue: AVIA SOLUTIONS GROUP Arena Natalija Bunkė, the legendary actress, is going to sing. Are you ready for this feast? When talking about Lithuania, we have to mention its capital, Vilnius. It is said that Vilnius is one of the cities with the most churches in the world. Let's check in the wonderful buildings here~ 1. Vilnius Cathedral Located on the wide church square at the foot of Gediminas Mountain, Vilnius Cathedral was built in 1387-1388. It is the first Gothic wooden structure church. After many restorations, it gradually integrated Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles. 2. Gediminas Tower Gediminas Tower is located on Gediminas Mountain at an altitude of 48 meters. It was built in the 13th century and still stands on the top of the mountain after experiencing many wars and reconstructions. The three-story tower has a simple appearance but has experienced many vicissitudes of life. It is the first choice for tourists visiting Vilnius. Climb up Mount Gediminas and get a bird's eye view of the entire Vilnius from halfway up the mountain. It's also a great place to take photos of the city. 3. Uzupis Uzupis is located in the east of the old city. It is the territory of artists, dreamers, vagrants and drunkards. The region declared "independence" in 1998. Compared with the old city, this place is a bit dilapidated. It was hailed as a "utopia" at that time. Tourists interested in art can go and visit it. The more interesting building walls are used as art canvases, with various graffiti works, which are very intriguing. On December 8th, let's go to this concert in Vilnius~
