Vilnius - capital of Lithuania.

Vilnius - beauty of Northern Europe. The best place to live, study, work and make carrier in Lithuania.
Vilnius is a cosmopolitan city with diverse architecture. There are more than 40 churches in Vilnius to see. Restaurants, hotels and museums have sprouted since Lithuania declared independence, and young Vilnius residents are providing the city a reputation for being the most hospitable in the world as evidenced by the large membership of the Hospitality Club.

Like most medieval towns, Vilnius has developed around its Town Hall. The main artery, Pilies Street, links the governor's palace and the Town Hall. Other streets meander through the palaces of feudal lords and landlords, churches, shops and craftsmen's workrooms. Narrow, curved streets and small cosy courtyards developed in the radial layout of the medieval Vilnius.

The Old Town, historical centre of Vilnius, is one of the largest in Europe (3.6 km²). The most valuable historic and cultural sites are concentrated here. The buildings in the old town — there are nearly 1,500 — were built over several centuries, creating a splendid blend of many different architectural styles. Although Vilnius is often called a baroque city, here you will find some buildings of gothic, renaissance and other styles. The main sights of the city are the Gediminas Castle and the Cathedral Square, symbols of the capital. Their combination is also a gateway to the historic centre of the capital. Because of its uniqueness, the Old Town of Vilnius was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994. In 1995, the only known cast of Frank Zappa was installed in the center of Vilnius with the permission of the government.
Vilnius is one of the locations featured in the video game Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon. Some of the architecture is relatively well-represented.

Lying very close to Vilnius is a site some claim to be the Geographical Centre of Europe.

Birth place of the Fictional character Marko Ramius from Tom Clancy's novel The Hunt For Red October. Unfortunately, at one point in the film Sean Connery as Ramius mispronounces the name of his birthplace by calling it "Vil-nee-us," whereas Lithuanians pronounce it "Vil-noos."

Bela cidade contruída pelos poloneses!

Sem a cultura e os exércitos poloneses, o que seria da Lituânia e dos lituanos? Nadegas, estariam falando alemão ou russo!

Beautiful city constructed by the Poles!

Without the culture and the Polish armies, which would be in Lithuania and the Lithuanians? Buttocks, would be speaking German or Russian!
