Vilnius - beauty of Eastern and Middle Europe. The best place to live, study, work and make carrier in Lithuania.Vilnius is a cosmopolitan city with diverse architecture. There are more than 40 churches in Vilnius to see. Restaurants, hotels and museums have sprouted since Lithuania declared independence, and young Vilnius residents are providing the city a reputation for being the most hospitable in the world as evidenced by the large membership of the Hospitality Club.Like most medieval towns, Vilnius has developed around its Town Hall. The main artery, Pilies Street, links the governor's palace and the Town Hall. Other streets meander through the palaces of feudal lords and landlords, churches, shops and craftsmen's workrooms. Narrow, curved streets and small cosy courtyards developed in the radial layout of the medieval Vilnius.The Old Town, historical centre of Vilnius, is one of the largest in Europe (3.6 km²). The most valuable historic and cultural sites are concentrated here. The buildings in the old town — there are nearly 1,500 — were built over several centuries, creating a splendid blend of many different architectural styles. Although Vilnius is often called a baroque city, here you will find some buildings of gothic, renaissance and other styles. The main sights of the city are the Gediminas Castle and the Cathedral Square, symbols of the capital. Their combination is also a gateway to the historic centre of the capital. Because of its uniqueness, the Old Town of Vilnius was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994. In 1995, the only known cast of Frank Zappa was installed in the center of Vilnius with the permission of the government.Vilnius is one of the locations featured in the video game Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon. Some of the architecture is relatively well-represented.Lying very close to Vilnius is a site some claim to be the Geographical Centre of Europe.Birth place of the Fictional character Marko Ramius from Tom Clancy's novel The Hunt For Red October. Unfortunately, at one point in the film Sean Connery as Ramius mispronounces the name of his birthplace by calling it "Vil-nee-us," whereas Lithuanians pronounce it "Vil-noos."

Aug 20, 2008 - Ruski, idziesz na Syberię.Poles in Lithuania are just polonised Lithuanians (so etchnic Lithuanians), not colonists like Ruskie. In the common Polish-Lithuanian state Poles weren`t allowed to settle in Lithuania, nor to buy a land, but cultures were mixeing... so some of Lithuanian nobles started to speak Polish. Before XIXc nationalism they felt Lithuanian, becouse language wasn`t determineing thier identity. Even Piłsudski was Lithuanian and his family comed from Samogitian village Pilsudai.

Aug 20, 2008 - fuckin polish gastarbeiter , go home one day , all of you ! back to poland , gather you up from the whole europe and deport you back to poland cheap fucking labour, all you need is eyes like chinnese, then you would be simmilar , as cheap as chinnese!
mikolajoskierko Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - My poor Russian "friend", i`m in my home and as i said Poles in Lithuania are etchnic Lithuanians, just Polish speaking, not the Musovite colonists. Funny that Mockal is saying about cheap labor and Asians, as in your Mongol poorhouse majority of people aren`t even etchnic Slavs lol
bratvakgb Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - you might be home, but your country men and women are everywhere, like bacteria!!! our mongol porhouse?russia is richer then poland and baltic states put together, its just the image you have of us stays with you forewer , poor bastards, so what if our land is not all slavs? at least we have land that will give us more richness, and why do you talk about slavs ? you polish are not even slavs, you just think you are, slavs are not catholics ! ! ! i have more respect for chinnese then polish
mikolajoskierko Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Bwahaha, you just makes me more convinced that all of bad stereotypes about Russians are true, i can bet you`r even drunk at now lol. Russia is big and poor, if you put tobether 1000 stic huts, it can be richer than one villa, but it`s still only one big stick hut. Reigion got nothing to do with etchnicy, if you teach me about "going home", than do it by yourselve, not steal the lands of some Mongol nomads.
mikolajoskierko Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - I`v got no desire to continue this pointles discussion, you`r uneducated, rude and arrogant fool, typical Mockal. Stay at your Sibiria and leave Europe alone.
bratvakgb Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - poliak, do you know that moscow is the most richest and expensive city in the world, where the biggest numbers of billioners live IN THE WORLD ? ? ? ( Wikipedia - Moscow) do your research, only then say who is poor and who is not, keep your eyes on your own people that immigrate in there millions all over europe, poland cant even compare to single moscow, sory man, thats the truth, the richest city in the world, i know you will say all the bullshit back, but your just jealous cunts, get over it!
mikolajoskierko Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Mój ruski druhu... and what`s the number of homeless and starving in Moscow? I`m not denyeing that in few Russian cityies lives some rich people... and hordes of poor ones, i didn`t bothered myselve to dig up how looks like GDP per capita in Moscow, but if Warsaw got bigger than Berlin, than i`m sure is way ahead before Moscow. I`m not jelaous, i`v got a nice life and i`m a happy man... but actually what`s your point? The truth is that Russians aren`t richer, sorry, just look up stats.
bratvakgb Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - ok if you say per capita in warsaw is bigger then in berlin? why are there so much polish immigrants, aspecialy in germany itlay spain england ireland, fuckin everywhere, if oer capita is so high ? im not going to argue, but as soon as me into moscow you will see what i mean,people who are poor,are junkies and alcaholics who dont want to work, who want to live a happy life in moscow just goes to work,if russia would be poor,moscow wont be concidere as the richest and weltheas city in the world..
bratvakgb Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - why do you say "a number of starved homeless" have you been there to say something like that? when you will come over here you will understand yourself and stop argueing, you polish listen all what american and western channels show,becouse you have nothing of your own and will never have!!! and to let you know, we are not as poor as we used to be,now we can definatly say that we will become of the richest countrys very, if it wasnt for communist bastards we would be rich already...
mikolajoskierko Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Immigrants are from poor villages. Emmigrants are investing in our housing market much more than we have in EU structural funds, they`r going back already. Germany, Spain, Italy didn`t opened thier work markets, only UK, Ireland, Sweden and now France. Poland got since 15-18 years 6-7% GDP growth and 1-1,5% inflation (now is 3% due to global trend, Russia...11,3%), unemployment 7.3% (same as Germany), Warsaw got no unemployment. Pop below poverty line is high, 18%, but in Germany it`s 11%.
mikolajoskierko Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Moscow is only a city, not a country and whole Russia is much diversed, there are few verry rich people and lots of verry poor. Western medias? What`s a "west" at all? To your info, we`v got our own medias, which aren`t controlled by our gov... in opposite to Russian. Your only hope is oil and gas, if it will be still in use and you`ll finish competition like Azirbeijan (Georgian transit), or Norway (Grenland, north pole)... than maybe you`ll match our level in some time.
mikolajoskierko Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - "if it wasnt for communist bastards we would be rich already"Interesting, becouse as far as i remember commie puppets were stealing everything and sending to Russia and here people were starving... i remember how my mother was buying meat on black market. Only Russia was takeing advantage on this systhem and its puppets in satellite countryies. Before bolsheviks there was no real industrial revolution in Russia, while in Europe it was century before.
