Vilnius

In June 2008 I was lucky to be able to visit Vilnius in Lithuania for a few days. It's a most beautiful city and is well-known for its "old town", but I didn't get to see that as there wasn't time. Vilnius came across to me as a vibrant city with lots of life and a very modern outlook. You can get some very good beer in the bars, too!

Gedimino Street - surprisingly quiet for one of the main streets in Vilnius
