Vilnius is probably the European Capital nearest to us. Only 8 hours by car from Moscow - and you are in this interesting and a cozy city. Vilnius himself impresses a relaxed provincial city, there is no European gloss, but there is a hospitality and heat.
There are many interesting places that are really worth a visit. In addition, there are two more decent attention to the object - the city of Trakai and the European Park.
What is going in Vilnius? Walk around the city. There are a lot of interesting buildings, beautiful streets and churches. I made a very strong impression of the church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. Inside it is absolutely stunning, decorated with carved stucco.
Another such thing the moment was a walk along the hill where the Gediminas Tower is located. From here there is a beautiful view of the city with its triangular red roofs and river.
Interesting and visiting the Bohemian District of the city, which is called the Republic of Outupis.
Not far from Vilnius is the city of Trakai, famous for its magnificent castle located on the lake. The place is just awesome. The castle itself is large enough, and the walk along his corridors and the chairs brings pleasure. It is a place - ary for lovers to take pictures, because the combination of the blue water of the lake, the greenery of trees and the red castle gives a stunning effect.
Another exciting place near Vilnius is Europe Park. This place is great for walking in good weather. On the territory of more than 50 hectares, there are works of contemporary art among trees, various installations and funny sculptures.
Vilnius is a really good place to travel for a few days, as it is not possible to take a walk in the city and admire it with architecture, but also to make pleasant country rustles. In addition, the city is not very expensive restaurants with delicious food and there are quite good budget hotels.
