Back to EpisodesVilnius, Lithuania: Exploring the City's History and Local Food (Part 2)
Description
We are back with Lisa's sister Laurie, for Part 2 of their trip to Vilnius, Lithuania.
We pick up where we left off on their walking tour, with two huge churches standing right next to each other and a stop to try some Lithuanian specialties, including tree cake and apple cheese, which doesn't actually contain cheese. Lisa also tries the famous bright pink beet soup, and they take the funicular up to Gediminas Castle Tower for views over Vilnius.
We talk about their visit to the Museum of Occupations and Freedom Fights, housed in the former KGB headquarters, and their walk up to the Hill of Three Crosses through the fall leaves.
Lisa and Laurie finish with their thoughts on Vilnius, how many days you need to see the city and what they'd recommend if you only have one day.
