I Traveled To Vilnius During The Winter, And I’ll Show You Why It Is One Of The Most Beautiful European Capitals (30 Pics)
It's said that winter is not the best time for traveling. Low temperatures, rain or snowfalls, and more often communication problems can turn the trip into a bunch of uncomfortable moments. On the other hand, it's also a beautiful time to visit cities - especially the ones covered with snow and decorated with Christmas illuminations.
This winter I traveled to Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. It was my 3rd visit in this city but the previous trips took place in the summer. This time I totally fell in love with the dark and cold side of the city covered with fresh snow and heartwarming Christmas illuminations.
Vilnius is considered to be one of the most beautiful Christmas destinations in Europe, with its beautiful Christmas trees and wonderful decorations.
Take a look at the pictures I've taken during my visit.

Such a contrast in styles between that green building with the red roof and the grey and yellow building next to it.

I absolutely love the whimsy. There's not enough whimsy in life, IMO.

Beautiful architecture, and those lovely cobbled lanes... You have a great eye for this.
Thank you so much, Zena!
Load More Replies...yeah, you should definitely visit this city! :)
Load More Replies...Finally a post about Lithuania in a Lithuanian site!!! I was waiting for something like that! It's about time we see other countries and cities here
I'm glad you're happy! I was amazed by the beauty of Lithuanian capital city! It really needs more fame :)
Load More Replies...Fantastic photos. Reminds me how much I miss being able to just jump on a flight to take a day or two break. I love Vilnius, one of my favourite European cities to visit. The whole country is worth exploring. Stunning architecture everywhere, but the coastlines, with their huge sand dunes, are my particular favourite.
Thanks a lot! I feel you... Probably after all these dark times we will apperciate travelling much more than before! I fell in love with pure nature of Lithuania but still haven't been to the coastal part, it sounds really amazing!
Load More Replies...Beautiful photos but to be honest snow, cold and darkness is something I'd rather look at than actually experience.
I fell in love with dark sides of cities. I think it's my favourite way to explore them now. They have such a different vibe at night :)
Load More Replies...Thanks a lot! My pleasure :) Vilnius is wonderful!
Load More Replies...The town looks so pretty and this is great photography. Thank you for sharing. Makes me want to go there!
Thank you so much! Hope you'll be able to visit Vilnius pretty soon!
Load More Replies...Yeah, it was really cold :) But truly beautiful. Thanks!
Load More Replies...Vilnius is a really pretty city! I love the warm yellow of most of the buildings. Is that stone or something like stucco, I wonder? Whatever it is, it looks so nice in the lamplight, with the snow falling, and the cobbled streets. Very, very lovely! And your photos really show it off well. Thanks so much -- I've never learned much about Lithuania, but if it all looks like this, it would be a great place to visit.
Vilnius is really amazing. The architecture, narrow streets and picturesque hills make it an awesome place to visit! :)
Load More Replies...Thank you for sharing these beautiful photographs. Vilnius looks like such a gorgeous city and I love the mix of old new buildings.
Thank you for the nice words! Vilnius indeed is such a beautiful city!
Load More Replies...I was there on a business trip recently and can admit it's beautiful. Going to visit it during the summer.
I bet you will fall in love with summer vibe of Vilnius! :)
