  • Kelvita
    I recently used these people to get a Russian and a Belarusian visa as I was under the impression they were hot stuff. Nothing could have been further from the truth. After talking to them on the telephone to confirm they could provide me with the v[...]
  • Old Market B&B
    I've just returned from my 4th stay at the Downtown Market (formerly the Old Market) - and once again it was superb. Artur, Bozena and Anna go out of their way to make one feel at home - for an economical place to stay with a terrific location, the [...]
  • Salento DiscoPub
    Considering the interior and style of music, the place is amazingly casual, and I mean this in a good way. I've been there already about ten times, and each time the crowd is engaging and fun, no matter the size. I've found it very quiet and relaxed[...]

  • Bunte Gans
    At last a restaurant in Vilnius where everything is done in order to make the customer come back! Food was quality and portions were largely enough. Moreover, we came with children and the kids ate something balanced and tasty at the same time, whic[...]
  • Skonio Sauja
    An interesting wander down a street with Cigaru namai on the corner leads to Dysnos gatve and this delightful shop run by nice people. It stocks some lovely artisan cheeses ( including apple "cheese" , excellent cakes, fresh organic vegetables.[...]
  • Борщ!
    Absolutely amazing! Great, fast, service and great food. Nice menu. Borsch (the food) is authentic and very good.[...]
  • Stikliai
    Stikliai's cuisine certainly qualifies as fine dining, but thankfully the atmosphere is very friendly and informal. I've had very friendly waiters every time I have eaten here, not to mention excellent food. In my experience the waiters have always [...]
  • Tres Mexicanos
    Excellent service from a very good-natured young Lithuanian woman who was helpful to some other customers in achieving a Wifi connection in the restaurant as well as serving up the food. Nice informal atmosphere and good menu selection. Kind of wond[...]
  • Bistro 18
    I've been eating here for a couple of years and enjoying the experience every time. I was there about two weeks ago, but it seems like the menu selection seemed old. The food was certainly still good, but maybe the menu could use a new dish or two t[...]
  • Antakalnis Cemetery
    I visited the Antakalnis Cemetery, this May of 2010, and found it to be a typical lovely old European cemetery. I have many ancestors buried there, among them, with a last name of: Bohuszewicz. My father's family lived in the area of Antakalnis for [...]
  • Regina House
    Huge warning and not recommended in my opinion. The primary manager/owner of this service, Regina did multiple things that left an extremely poor impression on me upon arrival.The first was demanding a higher per night rent than we had first agreed[...]
  • Ona
    I stumbled upon this shop while roaming around the Old Town. What a find! They have tons of really interesting items, and they are ALL made in Lithuania, so they make great souvenirs! The girls at the shop are just wonderful, and speak English well.[...]

Vilnius In Your Pocket

The year 1992 was a colourful one to say the least. In January, US President George Bush famously vomited on the Japanese Prime Minister, the following month the signing of the Maastricht Treaty brought about the creation of the EU and, in May, the very first print issue of Vilnius In Your Pocket was published in a city that, so the legend goes, didn't even possess a telephone directory. In the extraordinary two decades since independence, Lithuania switched from being part of the Soviet Union to part of the European Union, George was replaced by his son George, who visited Vilnius in 2005 to thank everyone for supporting his illegal invasion of Iraq and, last but not least, a telephone directory eventually appeared just in time for everyone to buy a mobile phone and not need it. Exactly one hundred issues after the publication of the first ever Vilnius In Your Pocket the Lithuanian capital is a completely different city and yet strangely very much the same as it was. Have a bloody good summer. Vilnius In Your Pocket enjoys comments, suggestions, high praise and death threats from friends and foes alike.
