Vilnius County, Administrative region in southeastern Lithuania
Vilnius County spans across 9,731 square kilometers, encompassing seven municipalities and forests in the southeastern region of Lithuania.
The territory transformed from a governorate of the Russian Empire in 1795 to one of Lithuania's ten administrative counties following independence in 1918.
The region maintains numerous Baltic traditions through festivals in municipalities like Trakai, Širvintos, and Švenčionys throughout the calendar year.
The county connects major transportation routes between Lithuania and Belarus, featuring the A3 highway and international railway lines through Vilnius city.
Three national parks within the county borders protect rare species of European bison that roam freely in designated forest areas.
