Vilnius, Lithuania’s capital, is known for its baroque architecture, seen especially in its medieval Old Town. But the buildings lining this district’s partially cobblestoned streets reflect diverse styles and eras, from the neoclassical Vilnius Cathedral to Gothic St. Anne's Church. The 16th-century Gate of Dawn, containing a shrine with a sacred Virgin Mary icon, once guarded an entrance to the original city. #holidayvacation#wintergetaway#staycation#tripinspired#happynewyear

Lithuania is a country in the Northern and Baltic region of Europe. Lithuania is one of the Baltic states. Situated on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea, to the southeast of Sweden and to the east of Denmark, Lithuania 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 2.8 million people as of 2019. The capital and largest city is Vilnius and other major cities are Kaunas and Klaipėda. Lithuanians are Balts. The official language, Lithuanian, is one of only two living languages in the Baltic branch of the Indo-European language family, the other being Latvian. 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 and 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. #holidayvacation#wintergetaway#staycation#tripinspired#happynewyear

#tripaway The beach is big and most of it areas are very busy which might be not too comfortable for some people. No showers on or around the beach as well.Other than that it is one of the best looking beaches I've seen with the sand dunes being standout. Water is clean but not in all areas. Going there every year and it keeps improving. #tripaway

#tripaway Plunge Missile base The renovated manor is obviously beautiful and they are renovating other buildings on the property so in time it could get a 5 star but at the moment the art exhibition inside doesn’t make up for it. I wish there could’ve been a historical museum inside showing the life of previous owners. Nice enough park. #tripaway

#tripaway We stopped, to stretch our legs from driving. As I understand a bridge is part of a, sort of, city park. We parked by the picnic area, went to the Mound, to the duck-face tree, through the bridge, to the open air theater and then back to the car. nice promenade.The surroundings are so beautiful and mesmerizing #tripaway
