"Rome of the east" - Part 6

Vilnius | Lithuania | 2012-05

In May 2012 I travelled with Ryanair for a 48 hours trip to the Lithuanian Capital. I knew nothign about this city so everything was new for me. Unfortunatly on the first day it was a lot of rain. But at the second day I could visit the Old Town of Vilnius which is a UNESCO World Heritag Site. Vilnius was the European Capital of Culture in 2009. Its name "Rome of the east" was coined by the fact that you are able to see from every point in Vilnius at least 4 churches.
