Day 1. Vilnus in one day

We started our journey from Riga to Lithuania. We made 1st stop in Bauska (Latvia) to shoot a photo and rest our bottom for 5 minDSC_8515

1st stop in Lithuania was  small cafe “Pakelės Užeiga” near the Latvian/Lithuanian border.

Nice and cosy place to eat fried dumplings with soup 🙂 more Russian cousin than Lithuanian one 🙂 but they have a plenty of different classical Lithuanian ceppelini 🙂 too. But we decided to have them later. 🙂

So now we have  some kcal to move further and we are heading to our next stop – Vilnius.

We stoped in a pretty big hotel about 10-15 min from city center. I advice you to use Taxify (local uber) taxi. It is a mobile application you can install using hotel WiFi. No need to register credit card. It’s really cheep – about 5 euro to get to the city center.

Vilnus is wonderful and clean city, with lot of tourists 🙂 You can just walk and enjoy it without any plan.

But I always have a small plan, so first of all we need some luck. All you need to get some is just to rub a lucky belly 🙂

As you remember, we still are looking for traditional food. Taxify taxi driver was very friendly and recommended us to visit a place “Bernelių užeiga Vilniuje” with vast variety of different ceppelins 🙂

After the diner stomachs are round like huge watermelons. But the will to explore is stronger, therefore we are moving on through the city 🙂

If you wanna some snacks, there are legendary cheese shops (I”m even buying it in my country), really advice to taste.
