  1. A D D C A R c a r r e n t a l i n V i l n i u s V I L N I U S : A N U N D I S C O V E R E D P A R A D I S E O F L I T H U A N I A ! Vilnius is the capital city of Lithuania which has fascinated the tourists with its beautiful culture, a complicated history, and unique architectural monuments. Lithuania's cold, compact capital is one of the driving forces behind the nation's booming tourism industry. Boasting the biggest medieval old city in central and eastern Europe, Vilnius is popular because of its warming spirit of history, enchanting architectural tradition, and bustling cafe tradition. O U T S T A N D I N G V I E W F R O M E L E V A T E D V I E W - P O I N T S The best way to explore any city is often from above, and at Vilnius, you won't wind up short of choices of finding a birds-eye-view. The Hill of Three Crosses is one such monument into some bunch of martyred monks which offers a spectacular panorama. Dog walkers and tourists mingle with playful teenagers in summer evenings to watch the sun set over town. Gediminas Hill, which is reached through a steep cobbled route, or only by hopping to the thigh-saving funicular, is another common place to admire. Atop the mountain is Gediminas Castle; the tower is all that remains of that 15th-century fortress. The site is currently under renovation but must return in business for vista-viewing ancient in 2019.

  2. A C O U N T R Y W I T H I N A C I T Y There won’t be many cities on the planet in which numerous artists have combinely declared their district an independent republic. But that is exactly what occurred in the ingenious neighborhood of Užupis in 1997. Were they serious or was it planned to be part of performance art? That's still uncertain but, regardless of their motivation, they followed up in their resolve: cross across the Vilnia River and, in addition to a great number of galleries and artists' workshops, you are going to find a 41-point constitution proudly on display in over 20 languages. You may even have your passport stamped in the Užupis Information Center. A S T O N I S H I N G J E W I S H H I S T O R Y Also referred to as the Jerusalem of the North in the past, Vilnius's history has been inevitably intermingled with that of its Jewish community since the time Jewish retailers, investors, and craftspeople were first called to Vilnius by the Grand Dukes when it was established. Thriving, the Litvak (Lithuanian Jewish) population grew to 100,000 before WWII but, reluctantly, over 90 percent were murdered during the Holocaust, having been piled up from the Nazis and imprisoned in 2 ghettos in the city. The Holocaust Museum supplies a harrowing account of these events, although the Tolerance Centre provides a broader overview of the Litvaks' background and their many gifts to Vilnius' culture and also to Lithuania as a whole. Conclusion With numerous of the architectural monuments in the town and a complex history associated with them, it's essential to have a convenient commute source, so that you don’t miss out on anything you came for. And what better than hiring a rental car for oneself. Renting a car in Vilnius is cheap and very easy for tourists. https://medium.com/@kristian_90344/vilnius-an-undiscovered-paradise-of- lithuania-fcaa8074aa4
