중세부터 시작된 그 다른 길을 보는 방법은 높은 곳에 올라가는 것. 나는 빌뉴스 대학 안에 있는 세인트존 교회의 종탑에 올라가 보기로 했다. 68m높이의 종탑은 빌뉴스 구시가에서 가장 높은 곳, 종탑에 올라 내려다 본 구시가의 첫인상은 어느 방향을 보든 교회가 아주 많다는 것이다.

The way to see the other way that started in the Middle Ages is to go up high. I decided to go up to the bell tower of St. John's Church in Vilnius University. The 68-meter-high bell tower is the highest in Vilnius old town, overlooking the bell tower, and the first impression of the old town is that there are many churches in either direction.
[Lithuania: Google Translator]
Kitas būdas, kaip prasidėjo viduramžiais, yra didelis. Aš nusprendžiau eiti iki Vilniaus Šv. Jono bažnyčios varpinės. 68 metrų aukščio varpinė yra didžiausias Vilniaus senamiestyje, su vaizdu į varpinę. Pirmasis įspūdis apie senąjį miestą yra tas, kad yra daug bažnyčių abiejose kryptimi.

Vilnius Travel Guide - Lithuania Charming Memories
Vilnius Travel Guide - Lithuania Charming Memories
Vilnius is the capital and largest city of Lithuania. It lies in the valley of the confluence of Neris and Vilnia rivers. Along with Linz, Austria, Vilnius was the European Capital of Culture in 2009. The word Vilnius is a masculine form of the Vilnia river's name (which is feminine) and refers to the river surge.
Vilnius has always been a multi-national city populated with Lithuanians, Poles, Germans and Slavs from the immemorial time, later on with Jews as well. Although the original city location was lost due to erosion, the present day Old Town reappeared in the Middle Ages.
Although the Old Town is one of the largest in Europe, it can easily be explored on foot. Susisiekimo paslaugos operates buses and trolleybuses in Vilnius. A single ticket for either bus or trolleybus use costs €1(, purchased from the driver (cash only) or ~€0.70/30min if a Vilniečio kortelė (Vilnius Citizen Card) is purchased from a kiosk, PayPost outlet, Post office or Maxima supermarket for €1.50. When changing buses, you need a new paper ticket.
There are several well known foreign car rental companies as well as several domestic companies in Vilnius. City-Bee operates a car sharing network where you can rent a car by the hour. There is no contract nor monthly fee, you pay only for the service when you use the car, no parking expenses when you are not using it. There are 13 pick-up points throughout the city, mostly in the centre and some relevant points in northern districts.
Vilnius Old Town is a city area which began to develop extensively around the Middle Ages and it eventually became surrounded by a defensive wall after some time. The wall was distinguished by its strong surroundings and its shape for a long period of time, but this area is now called Old Town and has a separate status in the Vilnius administrative division. While the urban structure reflects the earliest development from c. 14th century, the architecture of the buildings is mostly from Baroque and Classicism periods with some examples of Renaissance and Gothic, to a lesser extent. One should keep in mind that medieval Vilnius was once a wooden city. The huge fires ravaged Vilnius several times since 1513 to 1749. Therefore, many buildings of the 19th and 20th centuries (still considered new) have Gothic and Renaissance cellars, many of which now are occupied with restaurants, bars or shops. One particular nice area is a block of artisan guilds that is notorious because of its evil fate: 6 Sep 1941 the two Jewish ghetto, commonly known as Vilnius Ghetto, were established. The ghetto operated until 24 Sept 1943. In 1994, the Old Town was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
In both Old Town and the Centre there are plenty of cafés. You simply can walk and choose the one you like or ignore if not in mood, not much effort is needed. There are chains of coffee shops and you can easily find them without a guidance.
There are 65 churches in Vilnius. Like most medieval towns, Vilnius was developed around its Town Hall. Pilies Street, the main artery, links the Royal Palace with Town Hall. Other streets meander through the palaces of feudal lords and landlords, churches, shops and craftsmen's workrooms. Narrow, curved streets and intimate courtyards developed in the radial layout of medieval Vilnius.

**Sponsored by Vilnius Urban Adventures**
Whenever we travel, we try to take a food tour to get an introduction to the town and culture. This Vilnius food tour was guided by Urban Adventures in Vilnius and might just be one of our favorite food tours.
It wasn't rushed, we tried exactly what I thought we would, plus there were surprised along the way. So, it first met, then exceeded expectations!
Vilnius, Lithuania is extremely under-rated. I can't believe more people don't visit -- and some people have never even heard of it!! We absolutely loved our time in the city. Tinggly hosted us in their Blogger House next to their office in Vilnius which allowed us to explore how we wanted. Can't wait to go back!

I did shoot these clips one year ago, on July 22nd and 25th, 2016 to be precise. Maybe you don't really see in the video, because I adjusted the colors in post-production, but it was cloudy and rainy during these days. But Vilnius has its charm even during bad weather. It's one of my favorite cities in Europe.

As it started raining after the take-off at the financial district, I could not get enough shots and borrowed some (from 0:09 till 0:16 to be precise, for a total of 7 seconds) from LiudasBar: (his video has a creative commons license)

Discover Lithuania (Drone Phantom 4)
Vilnius, the Capital City
Chances are you’ll arrive in Vilnius, the capital, first, so you’ll definitely want to explore the city.
The biggest and one of the oldest cities in Lithuania will amaze you with a lot of green space and friendly people who will be happy to help you.
Although this is a post-Soviet country, and not everyone knows how to speak a language apart from Russian, the youth of Lithuania speak perfect English, so you’ll be able to communicate with them.
Stops in Vilnius should include the old town, the main cathedral, and the famous Saint Anne’s Church. Just visit Vilnius and take a simple tour to discover the city.
Castle of Trakai
Another historical site to visit is a few kilometers away from the capital. Trakai used to be the capital of Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the 13th century.
The main castle has been rebuilt in the middle of a vast lake and attracts plenty of international visitors. In Trakai, you can also meet the local community of Tatars, and discover their traditional cuisine.
Trakai is the best place to stop if you want to learn about Lithuania’s long history, as well as to see a bit of the country’s natural beauty.

02:11:11 11 Notes
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Lithuania ( (listen); Lithuanian: Lietuva [lʲɪɛtʊˈvɐ]), officially the Republic of Lithuania (Lithuanian: Lietuvos Respublika), is a country in the Baltic region of Europe. Since its independence, Lithuania has been referred to as one of the Baltic states. It is situated along the southeastern shore of the Baltic Sea, to the east of Sweden and Denmark. It is bordered by Latvia to the north, Belarus to the east and south, Poland to the south, and Kaliningrad Oblast (a Russian exclave) to the southwest. Lithuania has an estimated population of 2.7 million people as of 2018, and its capital and largest city is Vilnius. Other major cities are Kaunas and Klaipėda. Lithuanians are Baltic people. The official language, Lithuanian, along with Latvian, is one of only two living languages in the Baltic branch of the Indo-European language family.
For centuries, the southeastern shores of the Baltic Sea were inhabited by various Baltic tribes. In the 1230s, the Lithuanian lands were united by Mindaugas, the King of Lithuania, and the first unified Lithuanian state, the Kingdom of Lithuania, was created on 6 July 1253. During the 14th century, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was the largest country in Europe; present-day Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, and parts of Poland and Russia were the territories of the Grand Duchy. With the Lublin Union of 1569, Lithuania and Poland formed a voluntary two-state personal union, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Commonwealth lasted more than two centuries, until neighbouring countries systematically dismantled it from 1772 to 1795, with the Russian Empire annexing most of Lithuania's territory.
As World War I neared its end, Lithuania's Act of Independence was signed on 16 February 1918, declaring the founding of the modern Republic of Lithuania. In the midst of the Second World War, Lithuania was first occupied by the Soviet Union and then by Nazi Germany. As World War II neared its end and the Germans retreated, the Soviet Union reoccupied Lithuania. On 11 March 1990, a year before the formal dissolution of the Soviet Union, Lithuania became the first Baltic state to declare itself independent, resulting in the restoration of an independent State of Lithuania.

Lithuania ( (listen); Lithuanian: Lietuva [lʲɪɛtʊˈvɐ]), officially the Republic of Lithuania (Lithuanian: Lietuvos Respublika), is a country in the Baltic region of northern-eastern Europe.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Lithuania ( (listen); Lithuanian: Lietuva [lʲɪɛtʊˈvɐ]), officially the Republic of Lithuania (Lithuanian: Lietuvos Respublika), is a country in the Baltic region of Europe. Since its independence, Lithuania has been referred to as one of the Baltic states. It is situated along the southeastern shore of the Baltic Sea, to the east of Sweden and Denmark. It is bordered by Latvia to the north, Belarus to the east and south, Poland to the south, and Kaliningrad Oblast (a Russian exclave) to the southwest. Lithuania has an estimated population of 2.7 million people as of 2018, and its capital and largest city is Vilnius. Other major cities are Kaunas and Klaipėda. Lithuanians are Baltic people. The official language, Lithuanian, along with Latvian, is one of only two living languages in the Baltic branch of the Indo-European language family.
For centuries, the southeastern shores of the Baltic Sea were inhabited by various Baltic tribes. In the 1230s, the Lithuanian lands were united by Mindaugas, the King of Lithuania, and the first unified Lithuanian state, the Kingdom of Lithuania, was created on 6 July 1253. During the 14th century, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was the largest country in Europe; present-day Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, and parts of Poland and Russia were the territories of the Grand Duchy. With the Lublin Union of 1569, Lithuania and Poland formed a voluntary two-state personal union, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Commonwealth lasted more than two centuries, until neighbouring countries systematically dismantled it from 1772 to 1795, with the Russian Empire annexing most of Lithuania's territory.
As World War I neared its end, Lithuania's Act of Independence was signed on 16 February 1918, declaring the founding of the modern Republic of Lithuania. In the midst of the Second World War, Lithuania was first occupied by the Soviet Union and then by Nazi Germany. As World War II neared its end and the Germans retreated, the Soviet Union reoccupied Lithuania. On 11 March 1990, a year before the formal dissolution of the Soviet Union, Lithuania became the first Baltic state to declare itself independent, resulting in the restoration of an independent State of Lithuania.
