Vilnius, Lithuania

The Republic of Lithuania is a country in northern Europe. Situated along the south-eastern shore of the Baltic Sea, sharing borders with Latvia to the north, Belarus to the southeast, Poland,The population is 3.4 million, the largest city and the capital is Vilnius. Vilnius to me is just like another other fucking capitals. However, it’s old and torn and always wet.. I would recommend travelling to other parts of the nation and just take Vilnius as a day trip.

Austros Vartai, Gates of dawn is the only surviving portal of the city walls, which guarded the old town since 16th century. It’s a common practice for locals to cross themselves and pray before and after walking through this ancient gate. I did so too.. I’m pang dang (superstitious).. Ha
