Vilnius Travel Blogs

Background: Independent between the two World Wars, Lithuania was annexed by the USSR in 1940. On 11 March 1990, Lithuania became the first of the Soviet republics to declare its independence, but Moscow did not recognize this proclamation until September of 1991 (following the abortive coup in Moscow). The last Russian troops withdrew in 1993. Lithuania subsequently restructured its economy for integration into Western European institutions; it joined both NATO and the EU in the spring of 2004.

Hill of Crosses, Siaulai.
Last days in the Baltics. It would be easy to say I have a grasp on this area of the world, but like many of these old cultures, it is hard to understand the mind set of the people without living amongst them for some time. However, during my 2 or so weeks of travelling around this, very Eastern, part of Europe, I feel glad to have come here, and happy with my time, and the people who I have met along the way. Before making my next trip Belarus, I looked around Vilnius and felt somewhere entirely different to either [View Full Entry]

Thousands upon thousands of memories

well, its certainly been a pleasant few days. as im walking around these wide streets i always think of a million and one things to write about, but then sit me in front of a computer and my mind goes blank, only thinking about really menial things. but then all of my blogs are centered around menial things, so maybe that isnt so bad. anyway, if i remember correctly there were 3 things i wanted to go on about, so lets get cracking. first of all, a pretty lovely human interchange that happened on wednesday afternoon. i went to sigulda, which [View Full Entry]

Lithuania and Vilnius.. A place that has now changed me in so many ways by the time I had left the country to be heading back to Australia. First stop in Lithuania was the hill of crosses and i remember thinking this is one creepy place.. It is not just one hill of crosses either, the whole area is completely covered in them and an amazing sight when first seen. It is hard to get to though from the city that is close by if not having a car. It ended up a local bus trip, guessing where to get of [View Full Entry]

Saturday, July 12’Th It’s a strange thing not to a trip by taking the bus to Billund. But I have moved to Aarhus, so the bus to Billund is of no use today. Instead it’s the train bound for Copenhagen. My Air Baltic plane leaves for Vilnius at 8.30 pm. The flight takes about 1½ hour, and with the difference in time on one hour it’s about 11 pm as we land in Vilnius. I find a taxi for the ride into town and my hotel Domus Maria. I arrive at about midnight, and go to bed. Sunday, July 13’Th Domus [View Full Entry]

Now, following the new trends in AIESEC in Lithuania, MC officially opened the team-building season with an unforgettable session in Andzelika's place (2 KM away from Bulgaria (and all other countries starting with "B" like Budapest, Berlin and Beer) according to Deny/ 2 KM away from Belarus according to the map). Location: EXCELLENTEeee...Andzelika's cabin in the country side, enough space to sleep, play, eat, drink, run, drink, make Koldunai. Thank you Andzelika. Participants: Kaja, Elin, Andzelika, Ieva, Deny, Rytis, Vytenis and of course me...ups...but let's not forget ANDRIUS [View Full Entry]

The Balkans Rule... the Baltics drool! I've officially decided that the whole "Seeing the World" thing is totally overrated. Screw it... from now on, I'm going no further than the Balkans where, above all its other amazing attributes, THE PEOPLE ARE FRIENDLY!! I'm on the bus getting the Hell out of Vilnius, and not a moment too soon! How I regret leaving sweet Estonia with its saunas and nice old towns and good dancers! I'm hoping that Lithuania will redeem itself over the next two days when I'm out of its truly shit capital! Last night, my dinner was pretty good. [View Full Entry]

Hi from ho-hum Vilnius Hmmm.... I was expecting to be blown-away by Vilnius, but so far I haven't seen anything that compares to the beauty of Tallinn (but, to be fair, I've only been here for a couple of hours, so I'll reserve judgment for now). The bus ride from Riga to Vilnius was a painless 4 hours (I had my raspberries and my mobile phone games to occupy me). When I arrived, I got a little lost finding my way from the bus station to the AAA hostel. The hostel had a pretty creepy feel right away, made even creepier [View Full Entry]

. The summer is over. In the last month loads of things changed in my life especially the people structure around me, people coming and people leaving, meeting new people and making new friends and in the same time missing some others. In the last month people returned from different countries in the world and people left. But the most interesting thing is that most of us were out of Lithuania and at one point we managed to see each other again. So, Deny, Elin and Ieva were out in Brazil for 3 weeks, Rytis was in Bulgaria, Laura in London, [View Full Entry]
