Vilnius
Baltic state seat
Vilnius is the capital and largest city of Lithuania, located in the southeastern part of the country where the Vilnia and Neris rivers meet.
The city's Old Town, one of the largest surviving medieval centers in Europe, reflects centuries of Polish, Jewish, and Soviet influence.
We spent three days exploring Vilnius before heading to Riga.
