Shopping
Unless you’re Latvian or Polish, you probably didn’t come to Vilnius to shop. However, shopping is fun, and, in the case of certain products (notably Lithuanian alcohol, cigarettes and amber) a hell of a lot cheaper than it is in the West. The main shopping areas in Vilnius can be divided neatly into the two areas of Old Town (antiques, amber, books old and new and some nice pieces of art) and parts of the city’s classiest street, Gedimino (designer clothes, mobile phones and more books). The city’s markets are also well worth a visit for an authentic, blast to the past experience if nothing else, as indeed are the increasing number of large shopping centres around the edge of the city, where among other things you’ll find all the clothing and footwear shops we’ve chosen not to list here.
