36hrs in Vilnius, Lithuania



Tucked away in the south east of the Baltic region, Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania is a little gem just waiting to be explored. Sometimes a little rough around the edges, the city can be excused for needing more time to re-establish itself. For the past 60 years Lithuania, along with its Baltic friends Estonia and Latvia, have borne the brunt of a bitter bloody violent pan-European struggle between the Soviet Union from the east and ze Chermans from the west. However it is that very mix of influence left behind from both directions that underscores the charm of this lovely city and country.
