Kool place

Really nice city
We were in Vilnius only for a couple of days but really enjoyed it! Beautiful city with lots of churches to see, a cathedral and a castle. Many restaurants serving lithuanian traditional food for good price. Museum of Genocide Victims is also worth seeing! The city centre isn't big, walkable distance everywhere, nice narrow medieval streets, and...Lots and lots of cafes!
Insider Tip:Most sightseeing places are shut on Mondays. I could imagine it would also be nicer in summer rather than winter.

Vilnius what a jewel!
When I was in Poland I was told many times how much Vilnius was a great place and I wasn't disappointed at all after this visit. The city is lovely, clean, full of monuments and bars. Local people are very friendly and kind. I'll be back. Only the weather was bad, but I was expecting it as it's november..
Insider Tip:Better avoiding taxis at the airport (too expensive) and take the local bus, number 1, to the city center. The Internet access at the airport desn't work properly. After climbing up to Gediminas' Tower, you can use the funicular to go back. Enjoy Vilnius!

Small Vilnius
How small might a capitol be? Only one big street "gedimius gatve" and than a lot of old houses.
Insider Tip:Cili Kamas or Cili Pizza are good place to have a meal, instead of McDonalds.
