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.
