[toscanafoto]

I want to share with the community information and my experience of my trip to Lithuania

I visited: Vilnius

Vilnius the capital of Lithuania is a very pleasant city immersed in and surrounded by vegetation. The small old town is full of many churches and other interesting places. Enough economic and full of good restaurants and pubs is a vibrant and welcoming city and deserves to be visited.
