Vilnius is charming for visitors and beloved home for its citizens, it has many faces and moods. A city of word famous theatre, music : fact demonstrated by the variety of festivals. A city of greenery: it lies among the hills and unlike many other metropolises, Vilnius is full of greenery, in summer it reposes in the refreshing shade of trees. A city of wonderful Old Town with its churches and narrow streets: buildings lean so close to each other, people lounge in cafes, their legs sprawling across the pavements, eyeing up passers-by. “The Old Town is a picturesque confection of cobbled courtyards, cupolas and a castle. A secret on the brink of being discovered, Vilnius is a miniature gem at the heart of Europe” says the Sunday Times. Sick of the old-town romance? Then cross the White Bridge and you’ll find yourself in the modern Vilnius. Glass and steel buildings popping up near by, traffic whooshes down the wide Konstitucijos av. Listen in cars buzzing, watch skyscraper

Listen in cars buzzing, watch skyscraper windows glistening and skaters riding a ramp. Instead of tiny cafes there are glass-fronted where men in costumes waving their briefcases are complimenting each other over lunch. Look to the right: here principal square and shopping mall with a variety of trendy boutiques and restaurants bear the name of “Europe”, look to the left: you’ll see “Arfa”and your “White Vilnius Apartment” just 200 meters away. If you want to see what summer residence of the 19th century looked like come to wooden Vilnius. These villas were built in Zverynas, Antakalnis and Snipiskes. You don’t need look for hardly, just cross Lvovo str. behind Europe Square and go straight down Giedraiciu str.
