Vilnius, a city steeped in history

Lithuania was the first Soviet republic to declare independence from the Soviet Union. Therefore, when I was in Poland and decided to visit the Baltic countries, I should have started in Lithuania, the southernmost and largest of them. Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, is built at the confluence of the Vilnia and Neris rivers and is located almost in the center of the country. A trip to Vilnius will immerse you in history. I traveled from Katowice (Poland) to Vilnius on June 8, 2023 with Felixbus for 29 euros. Best places to visit: Old Town, St. Anne’s Church, Hill of Three Crosses, Vilnius Cathedral, Gate of Dawn and Gediminas Tower #backpacking #backpacker #vilnius #budget #lithuania
