teo

One of the commercial skyscrapers on Lvovo gatve. This building is part of Vilniaus verslo uostas, which was built in 2008

CUP Area

A word CUP isn't related to any sport at all, but it stands for Centrinė Universalinė Parduotuvė (Central Department Store).
This shopping mall and Hotel Radisson Blu Lietuva (tall building on the right side) were built in 1970s as the beginning of Vilnius city expansion to the Neris river right coast.
Thanks to Justas for providing this great photo :)

Air Balloon Trips

Air balloon trips are very popular in Vilnius. Trips are the best during sunrises and sunsets, when wind directions are different on different altitudes. Single hour trip costs ~100 EUR.

Air Balloons

Air Balloons flying over you - is a very common thing in Vilnius. Every morning and every evening tens of balloons liftoff from different parts of city.
This picture was taken from Gediminas' Hill Tower, the highest natural spot in Vilnius.

I just can't get tired from this Vilnius panoramic view :)

Beach Volleyball

Unfortunately there is no beach in Vilnius, but it doesn't stop the Volleyball addicted people to play it on an artificially made sand beach next to Neris River.

Storm is Coming

The storm, which yesterday hit Poland, now is coming to Vilnius. And it is clearly visible from my office window ;)

Viršuliškės twins

Viršuliškės twins are 24-floor apartment buildings and were built in 2006. Each tower is 74 meters high, which make them listed in TOP 10 tallest buildings in Vilnius.

Downtown

Vilnius downtown is located in Šnipiškės area. Because of all these skyscrapers gathered in one place, Vilnius looks like any other American city with downtown in the middle.
Interesting fact is that Lithuanian currency Litas was pegged to USD from 1994 to 2002, which shows some very close connection between Lithuanian and US, I just don't understand which one and why? :)

Šnipiškės roofs

Šnipiškės roofs on Kalvarijų gatvė, which are almost the same orange color as Old Vilnius.
