After saying goodbye to Jitka I left Alytus early this morning and headed with the express bus back to Vilnius.
Since I had just a few hours till my flight back to Munich, I gave my luggage in the luggage deposit (3Lt = 1€ per luggage) at the bus station and headed to the city center right away.
Vilnius impressed me with its classic and well-preserved building. There is not much of the Soviet touch through the old blocks, which are more frequently seen in the outskirts of the town.

It was very cold in the morning but the amazing sunshine was just perfect to have a walk through the old town of Vilnius. I even sat in the park to eat a snack.

Vilnius reminded me a bit of Prague, with the small shops, traditional food and products, and the street artists.

| The sweetness of Vilnius. |
