Lithuania

Lithuania used to be a large Kingdom, way much larger that the area of modern Lithuania

Vilnius

The capital Vilnius has some European typical architecture

Lithuanians call people and dogs to not shit around

A very cool street art - Botticellis Venus

Parking lots for bicycles are protected by green car silhouette, which looks like is ripped off from Maltese Public Transportation logo

The very center of Vilnius old town is the Cathedral Square


Tourist standing on Miracle Stone at Cathedral Square.
By standing on it turning 3 times then jumping and clapping will make your wish true.
Similar bullshit exists everywhere in the world.

But seriously the stone is called "Stebuklas" which means miracle in Lithuanian,
and was the end point of the longest uninterrupted human chain which has started in Tallinn Estonia, as a symbolic demonstration against USSR in 1989

From the bell tower the Gediminas castle tower is visible

Gediminas used to be the Grand Duke of Lithuania, he is notes for expanding Lithuania to its largest size and for a lot of other things

The most famous children book Kakes Makes in Lithuania, it's about a naughty character.
Transliteration in Armenian language sounds quite funny ;)

Super cool wooden facade of a shop

Vilnius is famous of having independent republic (neighborhood) Užupis within it

It's like Christiania in Copenhagen but has been founded by artists and not by drug addicts

Lithuanians are passionate hokey players

Not that far from Vilnius is located marvelous Castle called Trakai

Its built on an Island and has a lot of historical significance
