I don't believe anyone has been to 🇱🇹, this small and beautiful country by the Baltic Sea.
During my previous trip to the three Baltic countries, I really enjoyed Lithuania as a niche destination. When visiting Lithuania, of course, you have to go to Vilnius. I have summarized a guide to the attractions in the old town of Vilnius. Just read this article and you'll have enough information!

📍Vilnius Cathedral:
The local church is very important, with a Baroque-style interior that was once a wooden Gothic style. The building is well-preserved, and the murals and organ inside are also exquisite.
·
📍Dawn Gate:
The city gate of the old town, which is also the only well-preserved gate among the nine gates that once existed, leads you into the old town of Vilnius once you step inside.
·
📍St. Anne's Church:
A small and beautiful brick-red church, with delicate lines and corner towers. It is said that Napoleon once wanted to "move" the entire building back to France because of its beauty.
·
📍Uzupis:
Known as the "land across the river", this place used to be a gathering place for hippies, so the enthusiasm and cheerful style can be seen from graffiti, sculptures, etc.
·
📍Gediminas Tower:
It is said that Grand Duke Gediminas had a dream of a steel wolf here, and then ordered the construction of this fortress. It is a great place to overlook the old city and take panoramic photos.
·
📍Thirty Cross Sculpture:
Located on the Thirty Cross Mountain, the scenery along the way is beautiful in autumn. It is also suitable for overlooking the cityscape, but there are more young people who come here for hiking and running.
·
📍Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania:
Currently, it is a museum that witnesses the history of Lithuania, but many people say that the collection in the museum is not abundant. For those who do not like to visit museums, they can take photos outside.

💚Transportation💚
It is recommended to take a taxi or walk in the Vilnius city center. The old town is very small and most attractions can be reached on foot. If you want to take a taxi, note that Uber is not used locally. The Baltic States (Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia) all use Bolt for taxi services.

❤️Eat❤️
Lithuanian cuisine is mainly based on large fish and meat, and the cooking methods are relatively simple, so it is unacceptable for someone like me with a Sichuan stomach. However, many supermarkets here sell Southeast Asian seasonings, so those who want to eat spicy food can consider it.
