City Guide Vilnius, Lithuania

Vilnius 2013

Nice architecture in the town center. Good for one or two days. Good starting point to visit Minsk and Khaliningrad. A bit scarry by night in some places, like the train station for exemple ...

Vilnius in Spring

Great city - amazingly interesting history and culture to learn about, beautiful old town and very friendly locals. Trakai castle is near by and easy and cheap to get to, lots of sights to see around the Old Town and outside it.

Medieval without specials

The medieval town without specials. After the town of Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius seems faded. Few museums, in the old city drive cars, no colorful national restaurant. Summary: Vilnius for traveling in it once, for information.

Vilnius

Vilnius is an awesome town full of creative and friendly people. It felt like a place i'd be happy to live one day! Plus everything is super cheap there!

Insider Tip:Do the free waking tour, it is fascinating and fun!

Vilnius

I wasn't overly impressed with Vilnius. This may be because I came from Talinn and Riga which were both AWESOME!! Prices weren't as cheap as expected and there wasn't much to see or do. The partying doesn't measure up to Talinn or Riga and the people are less receptive to tourists.

Insider Tip:If I go back to Lithuania I'd definitely do Kaunas or Klaipedia instead. I've heard raving reviews of Kaunas from other travelers but only after we had already booked Vilnius.
