When to go to Vilnius?
Turn almost any corner of Vilnius's old town and another baroque church appears, along with courtyards you find by accident and cellar bars you find on purpose. The climb to Gediminas Tower opens the whole red-roofed sprawl and the wooded hills beyond it. Across a small river, the self-declared republic of Užupis keeps its constitution posted on a wall.
