Enchanting Vilnius
The air of the Lithuanian capital is literally filled with wonders and legends, and I will help you get closer to them. The tour program includes:

• Church of St. Anne - you will be amazed by the elegance and fragility of a building that has stood for five centuries.

• Republic of Uzupis - a separate 'state' in the heart of Vilnius. You will be recharged with its magical energy and understand why you cannot look into the eyes of the charming mermaid.
