Grand buildings with magnificent history - It was intriguing to hear from the tour guide about the magnificent history behind all the grand buildings that I saw during this walking tour. The Gediminas Castle was encaptivating. I enjoyed walking on the cobblestone streets of Old Vilnius. One must not miss this tour when in Lithuania.
