Vilnius In Your Pocket

Vilnius In Your Pocket
December 25, 2011 marks the 20th anniversary of the collapse of the Soviet Union, an earth-shattering global event that among other things facilitated the publication of issue N°1 of the guide you’re now reading several months later, and a subsequent influx of foreigners eager to experience one of Europe’s most unusual cities. Two decades on and Vilnius is both unrecognisable and strangely the same, one of countless contradictions that make Lithuania’s largest city such a strangely appealing place to visit and live in. If old wives’ tales are to be believed, the recent appearance of autumn berries the size of tennis balls and the colour of a concubine’s lips promises a winter not for the faint hearted and a time of year that, if you’re prepared to wander around dressed like Scott of the Antarctic, guarantees a refreshingly tourist-free experience. Getting here’s never been cheaper or easier, hotel prices look like they’ve been written in the wrong currency and, best of all, Vilnius is never going to be Prague or Kraków. Positively bursting with oddness, Vilnius has to be seen to be believed, and the only way to see it is through the geranium-tinted eyes of its oldest and most impertinent guide. Vilnius In Your Pocket welcomes all comments, suggestions, death threats, marriage proposals and anything else you can throw at us as usual. Write to us at the usual address. See you again in the spring.
