Hi everyone! This is episode two of my Baltics plus Finland series in which I travel to Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland. In this video, I am in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania.

We start our tour at the Gate of Dawn and walk through the Old Town of Vilnius which dates back to the 14th century. There is a plethora of churches in this area, and we explore the exterior of several of these magnificent buildings. I note that the history and description of these buildings are clearly signposted. We also walk past several restaurants, hotels and other shops in the area.

At the Town Hall and Town Hall Square, I talk about my own accommodation experience in Vilnius and compare the price I paid to that of backpackers I found online. I might have incidentally created a useful rule of thumb for backpackers regarding whether to choose a single room or a dormitory bed!

The next stop is food. I visit Lokys Restaurant, the oldest restaurant in the Old Town and drink some local Lithuanian drink, whilst feasting on some unusual but very traditional Lithuanian food. I also explore the rest of the restaurant.

With my stomach filled, I explore more of the Old Town's churches and even stumble upon a palace and some street markets. I also try my first ever Narvesen coffee and give it a rating out of ten.

It is impossible to do justice to all the churches in the Old Town - there are just so many. However, I decide to cherry-pick a few more before the vlog ends, and where I talk more about my experiences in Vilnius and whether or not you should visit this city.

I hope you find this vlog useful and informative! If you haven't done it yet, I would really appreciate it if you could give this video a LIKE and please SUBSCRIBE to the channel. It is completely free to do so and it really helps me out!

Happy exploring!

Willie
