Vilnius has always been regarded as one of the most charming cities in the Northeastern part of Europe. However, recently, the Lithuanian capital has been building up its reputation as one of the most outstanding places to visit in the whole of Europe!

Lonely Planet, the largest travel guide publisher in the world, has named Vilnius as one of their top 10 European places to visit in 2018. The experts suggest that the charm of Vilnius fits among such places as Provence in France or Cantabria in Spain. Here’s what the giant of traveling says about this magnificent city.

A City on the Rise

Vilnius has been quietly making its way up the ranks of premier destinations for a wonderful weekend. According to Lonely Planet, the unique cultural and historical setting, including the somber memories of the Jewish ghetto under the dark sky of WWII and the graceful high-rising pearls of Baroque architecture, makes the atmosphere of the city almost tangible.

An Understated Alternative Scene

In recent years, Vilnius has become a scene of fabulous New Nordic-inspired restaurants that compete closely with those on the other side of the Baltic Sea. On top of that, this year marks the 100th year of Lithuania’s Act of Independence, and more than a bunch of celebrations await, including an iconic song festival throughout the entire month of July.

Experts’ Suggestions

Vilnius has found its confident, quirky voice – and it’s only a matter of time before the world catches on, say the experts from Lonely Planet. As travel professionals ourselves, we invite you to check out some of our exceptional tours, including the vibrant city of Vilnius.
