Marsha from Canada wrote a very heart felt story about her trip to Vilnius. Not gonna lie - we might have teared up a bit....

"My first night in Vilnius, Lithuania, I had dinner by the river. The chair across from me, where Stephen would normally be sitting, looked very empty. I hoped it wouldn’t be a lonely trip.

But then, on my second day in Vilnius, I found an unexpected solution: the Vilnius with Locals website, offering pay-what-you-choose walking tours. What a find! For someone learning to travel independently once again, these explorations would come to define the trip."

Thanks Marsha!

Happy World Tourism Day, everyone! We want to thank each and every traveler who came to our tours and shared their time smiles with us!

Did you know that since 1980, the United Nations World Tourism Organization has celebrated World Tourism Day on September 27. The purpose of this day is to raise awareness on the role of tourism within the international community and to demonstrate how it affects social, cultural, political and economic values worldwide.

Have you seen the giant mural of two clasped hands on Gediminas Hill? Created by the renowned French artist Saype, it is part of a much larger global project. Saype has already created large murals of hands holding hands in 20 cities around the world, from Tokyo and Cape Town to Cairo and Geneva. What does it mean? One can say that clasped hands symbolises cultural cooperation between Lithuania and France, but also proclaims the idea of human unity. However, the artist says Vilnius is special because of the history of the Baltic Way too.

The monumental fresco is best seen from the foot of Gediminas Hill, from the LNM's Pilininkas House or from rooftop terrace of Energy and Technology museum.

And the top floor houses the museum of Rafael Chwoles, one of the most famous Lithuanian Jewish artists of the 20th century.
Special thanks to museum guide Vincentas for answering our questions!
