Vilnius, Capital city in Lithuania
Located at the meeting point of Neris and Vilnia rivers, Vilnius extends across 400 square kilometers with green areas covering nearly half of its territory.
The establishment of Vilnius dates to 1323 when Grand Duke Gediminas made it the capital of Lithuania through letters inviting European merchants and craftspeople.
The medieval architecture of Vilnius Old Town exhibits Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles, earning UNESCO World Heritage status for its architectural preservation.
The city functions through an efficient network of buses and trolleybuses, connecting residential districts to the central business area and Vilnius International Airport.
The Castle of Gediminas stands on a hill in the city center, marking the location where, according to records, an iron wolf appeared in the Grand Duke's dream.
