Solo Traveler’s Diary: Vilnius, Lithuania 🇱🇹🌄

📍 Vilnius – The Unexpected Gem ✅Planned as a "filler" destination, this became my safest and most delightful solo stop in Europe. ✅Cloudy for 3 days? Still magical. 🏰 Why Vilnius Shines 🌀Budget paradise: Hearty meals <€10, luxe hotels at hostel prices 🌀Open-air art history class: Gothic→Baroque→Rococo churches on every block 🌀Summer dream: Imagining sunny days sketching in café courtyards 🌟 Must-Sees 💫Three Crosses Hill: Panoramic church-spotted skyline 💫Republic of Užupis: Artist micronation with absurdist constitution 💫National Drama Theatre: Three Muses statue drama 💫Trolley rides: Vintage charm with modern routes 🗺️ Wanderer’s Tip 🍁Ditch maps – follow church spires like breadcrumbs. Detours reveal: 🍁Hidden street art murals 🍁Soviet-era "stumbling stones" 🍁Russian-speaking locals (they’ll switch to English!) 🌄"Vilnius doesn’t just welcome solo travelers – it celebrates them." #SoloLithuania #BaroqueWandering #VilniusOnFoot
