Vilnius is one of the most preferred destinations in Eastern Europe.  It is also known as Wilno and Vilna and is the capital city of Lithuania.  It is also the largest city of Lithuania with a population of about 500,000.

In 1994, the Old Town of Vilnius became a part of the World Heritage List of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).  And in 2009, it has been awarded as the European Capital of Culture along with Linz, Austria.  In fact, you can visit Vilnius anytime of the year and you are almost guaranteed that there will be an event going on whether it be cultural, music, cinema, theater, art or fashion.

There are also many bars, cafes and night clubs to choose from.  You can definitely find one that suits your needs.  Some of the more popular nightclubs in the Old Town are:

• Woo
• Gravity
• Pacha
• Helios

Svyturys (lighthouse) is the most popular local beer and is a world champion beer.  The Lithuanian vodka is also of excellent quality.

The Grutos Park is a definite must-see.  It is roughly 40km outside Vilnius and there is a bus that takes you there.  It was opened by a Lithuanian canned mushroom entrepreneur and is known to the locals as “Stalin World.”  The owner drained a local marsh and put it in a walkway.  As you walk around, you will hear communist propaganda blasted at you from mock search towers and you will see large concrete statues of Lenin, Engels and many other communist idealists which were torn down when the Iron Curtain fell.

It is truly a unique experience and one that will put your life into perspective.  Visiting this place will make you realize how lucky we are to live in a free world.
