How I Spent A Day In Vilnius

Yes, I had visited Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania before, but that was a long time ago (2007), and it was the middle of winter, so I was due for a refresher.

I had fond memories of Vilnius, mostly a chaotic 2 days with Alistair, Angel, Sarah and Jason, but now I was here in Summer!  So I was keen to see the city without all that white-stuff (i.e. snow).

This was only a pit stop, as I headed south, chasing the remnants of Summer, and I figured it was a nice spot to chill for a day.

Good Food

The foodie scene in Vilnius has apparently changed quite a bit, especially over the past 5 years, as Lithuanians have become a little more health-conscious.

ZATAR falafel & hummus

A simple menu of plate and pita falafels, but the taste was amazing.  A definite MUST for vegetarians in town.

No Forks

If you like a great burrito, then you will love No Forks.  One of the best burritos I’ve had.

Good Coffee

First, I tried Huracan Coffee, but the coffee was milky and not that tasty, so I would not recommend it as a place to go.

Second, I tried…

And if you like STRONG coffee, that is fresh and tasty, then you will love this cafe.  The service was pretty good too.

Good Uber

It’s a gamble tapping on the little Uber icon, and wondering if ride-sharing has been kicked out of the city yet by the taxi monopoly.

So I was thrilled to see a driver only minutes away to relieve all the walking I had done.

Yes- Vilnius has Uber! Love it, Use it.

Good Massage

I hadn’t had a massage since Glasgow, so I was very keen to get one.  I found an awesome place called…

The one hour full body massage felt “remedial” and was fantastic for only EUR34.  It was very close to the Bus/ Train Station, and not too far from Old Town.  I would recommend…

Good Sights

There is some great street art around town.
