Overview
Take a trip to Vilnius on your Lithuania Vacation
Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania and its largest city, boasts several historical and architectural wonders. The city's Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a maze of discovery with 70 winding streets, alleys, and 1500 well-preserved buildings showcasing a captivating blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture.
Journey through time and Lithuanian culture and visit renowned landmarks like the Gediminas Castle, also known as the Upper Castle, dating back to the 9th century with unrivalled city views. Effortlessly ascend the hill on the funicular railway and discover archaeological artifacts within the Upper Castle Tower that shed light on Vilnius' past. The Royal Palace, or the Lower Castle, represents Baroque luxury and was once the regal residence of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania. Vilnius Cathedral, founded in 1250, stands as an iconic city symbol, with crypts holding historical secrets and the adjacent Cathedral Square, a vibrant meeting point featuring a 16th-century bell tower.
One of Vilnius' distinctive quirks is the Street of Writers, with evocative artworks and tributes to literary icons, including Nobel laureate Czesław Miłosz, the celebrated poet Adam Mickiewicz, and the revered Lithuanian writer Jonas Biliūnas. Encounter creative expressions that pay homage to the written word, making it a unique and memorable exploration.

You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.
What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.
Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.
I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.
The Festes Majors are summer festivals held in the villages of Andorra. Each festival is unique to the village, with its own distinct style.
