Back to EpisodesVilnius, Lithuania: Exploring Old Town and the Republic of Užupis (Part 1)
Description
Lisa is back from Vilnius, Lithuania, and this week we're joined by a special guest, her sister Laurie, who came along for the trip. Erin stayed home for this one, so she's hearing most of the stories for the first time.
We start with the practical side of visiting Vilnius, including flights, getting from the airport to Old Town and finding a great place to stay. Then we head out on a walking tour that takes us through the city's history, hidden artwork, Jewish Quarter and some of its most interesting streets.
We also visit the Portal, where you can wave to people around the world in real time, and explore the Republic of Užupis, an artistic neighborhood with its own constitution, passport stamps and some rather unusual rules.
This is Part 1 of our Vilnius trip. We'll be back next week with more from Lithuania's capital.
