Indulge in delicious Lithuanian cuisine, from traditional cepelinai to mouthwatering šaltibarščiai, and savor the warm hospitality of the locals.

About me! Welcome to Vilnius, a city that I now call home after 15 years abroad and having explored 100 countries. As a recent resident, I am determined to uncover the coolest places and cafes this city has to offer. With my insider knowledge and native expertise, I can ensure a well-organised trip that combines sightseeing, indulging in drinks at cool venues, hiking to the magnificent Gediminas castle, and sailing on the serene lake. You could expect a perfect blend of discovery, indulgence, and adventure during this weekend getaway.

Details about the accommodation: The hotel (4 stars) will be located in the city center - within walking distance of all the main sights. Please note the rooms are on a shared basis - each room will have 2 separate beds. A Breakfast buffet is available in the restaurant in the mornings with cathedral views. The outdoor café is open during the summer season. If you have any questions you can let me know in the Q&A section or have a call to make sure this trip covers your expectations.
