28 days in Vilnius Itinerary

The capital of Lithuania, Vilnius, boasts an impressive medieval quarter--one of the continent's largest and a World Heritage Site with almost 2,000 historical buildings.

Change things up with these side-trips from Vilnius: Merkine Observation Tower (in Merkine), Trakai (Church of Nativity of Most Holy Mother of God, Trakai Island Castle Museum, &more) and Kaunas (Ninth Fort, Atomic KGB Bunker, &more). There's much more to do: examine the collection at KGB Museum (Genocido Auku Muziejus), contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Church Of St Peter And St Paul, wander the streets of Vilnius Old Town, and take in the awesome beauty at Hill of Three Crosses.
