Which country is Lithuania? Lithuanian tourism and transportation strategy

When I first heard about this country, Bian Xiao thought it was that place in China, but later I found that this country is still in Europe, but the name of this place really belongs to China when translated.

Transportation (Riga-Vilnius) The same ticket that ecolines bought in advance was 5 euros, but this time I was not as lucky as when Tallinn arrived in Riga last time. This time I met ecolines's double-decker car. All the water and coffee in the car need to be charged, as well as paid lunch. Prices are all around 1 Euro to 3 Euro.

Riga station location: Autoosta, Pragaslela 1. It takes less than ten minutes to walk from the hotel through the underground passage.

The official language is Lithuanian, but the popularity of English is acceptable. Basic train tickets, bus tickets, supermarkets, restaurants and other staff can speak English.

Accommodation recommended guest house, the name is CenterStayhostel. Because the train station and bus station in Vilnius (both standing in one place) are more than one kilometer away from the Dawn Gate at the entrance of the ancient city, this hotel is located at the Dawn Gate. You can wake up from the church bell every morning, and the distance to the railway station and the ancient city is similar to that on the other side and in the countryside, which is a very good place to get on and off.

My guest house is on the other side of the country. It takes more than half an hour and more than two kilometers to walk to the railway station and bus station every day. Especially when I arrived on the first day, it was noon, the scorching sun was like fire, and I was carrying a 70-liter bag. In addition, the urban layout of Vilnius is similar to that of Vladivostok. It's all slopes. I didn't have lunch. It was a mess all the way.

It is cheap to eat Lithuanian food in restaurants in the ancient city, and there are many Chinese restaurants. The first restaurant AlausBiblioteka, deluxe lunch, set meal 12 Euro, is recommended here, which is quite cost-effective.

Another recommendation is the canteen of Vilnius University, where you can eat very cheap and delicious food.

Of course, it is more cost-effective and comfortable to do it yourself. Because I changed a bottle of soy sauce and met two uncles in Hong Kong who wanted to eat my cooking, I made a table.

There are two supermarkets in Lithuania, one is IKI and the other is Maxima. Personally, I think Maxim is more comprehensive and cheaper, but IKI's milk is better and cheaper. You can go to IKI to buy milk printed with IKI brand.

Vilnius Old Town Vilnius Old Town is full of churches. When you walk into each church, you will find that the interior decoration, murals and religious habits are different. For example, some women need to wear headscarves when they go in, while others don't. This is precisely because there are serious traces of religious struggle here, and the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church are intertwined.

In fact, it is also very interesting to find the shadow between religious struggles bit by bit.

Among the museums, the Grand Duke Museum of Lithuania is recommended, but the National Museum of Lithuania is not recommended. The Grand Duke Museum displays a large number of cultural relics of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, while the National Museum is rather boring. The Dagong Museum is located next to the Lithuanian Cathedral, but it is closed at 6 o'clock every night on Mondays. Tickets 1.5 euros. You can try to make your own coin with two coins of one euro and five cents.

Another recommendation is Vilnius University, but it is not recommended to climb St. John's Cathedral, because there is still a charge. Secondly, there are Gedi Minas Tower and three cross sculptures in the ancient city, which can be directly climbed to overlook the whole ancient city.

Another recommendation is Gediminas Tower. However, climbing the tower requires an extra 5 euros, so it is not recommended. You can directly overlook the panoramic view of the ancient city under the tower, and then sit on the wall and bask in the sun.

Very comfortable.

Another recommendation is the night view of Vilnius Cathedral. However, since it was past nine o'clock in Vilnius, I missed it, but it was said to be beautiful. If it gets dark early in winter, you can come and see.

5. The other shore of the Republic of China

On the other side of the country is a micro-country, located in the old town of Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, where UNESCO World Heritage has been declared. Upis "means" the other side of the river "and refers to the Werner River? ) the surrounding area. 1 April 19971April Fool's Day, the region declared the establishment of an independent republic.

However, the other side of the country has not been recognized by any country for the time being It is not so much an independent country as an art district. There are art galleries, artists' workshops and many cafes in the area. The bohemian atmosphere can be compared with Montmartre in Paris, and artraszuokas, mayor of Vilnius, often attends activities held in the other country.

Trache, located 28km west of Vilnius, is a small town with a long history. Trakai Castle in Trache is the biggest attraction.

transport

There are trains and buses at any time every day. The bus is about 2 euros, and the train 1.7 euros.

Generally speaking, buses are more expensive than trains. The train is similar to China's bullet train, with high speed and new facilities, and its relative price is generally higher than Latvia's.

Vilnius Railway Station is located opposite the bus stop. The address is Sod? Group of 22, Vilnius

It takes 40 minutes from Vilnius to Trache. It is worth mentioning that the interior of Trakai Castle is not very recommended. First, the entrance fee is 7 euros (3.5 euros for students), and it is really just a small museum with several rooms. But the surrounding scenery is still quite good. So it is strongly recommended to look around.

Kaunas and kaunas are the second largest cities and old capitals of Lithuania. It is located at the intersection of Nieman River and Neris River, the two largest rivers in Lithuania, and adjacent to Kaunas Reservoir, the largest water body in Lithuania.

transport

The same Lithuanian train, 1 hour 10 minute, costs 4~6 euros, depending on whether it is a direct train or a lot of stops, the price is slightly different.

Of course, you can also choose to go back and forth by bus. The bus stop is just around the corner of the railway station.

Recommendation point

1. The first recommendation is Freedom Avenue in kaunas. It is a boulevard like Europe, and at the end of the road is a church with a long history.

2. Second, the church of Christ's resurrection. This is a very tall modern church with a unique style. Admission to the church is free, but you need to pay to take the elevator to the highest point of the bell tower to overlook the whole city. Of course, this is not very recommended.

Another recommendation is the Kaunas Castle Museum, which is one of the oldest castles in Lithuania and is currently open as a museum.

In fact, the most recommended thing is to stroll through the city of kaunas and feel the scenery and architecture of this ancient capital.

Siauliai, Siauliai is the fourth largest city in Lithuania and an important city in the north. HillofCross is located here, and I am here because of its vastness.

traffic

As usual, it takes 2 hours and 30 minutes from Lithuania to siauliai by train. Not to mention this.

After arriving in downtown siauliai, you need to cross the mountains by car. There is a bus to the mountain from five o'clock in the morning (starting at ten o'clock on Sunday) to eleven o'clock in the evening. Pick it up at the bus stop.

Siauliai bus stop address: Til? sg. 109，？ iauliai

It will take half an hour to get there, but it will take another 20 minutes to get to Cross Mountain after getting off the bus. So I took the bus at 8: 25 in the morning and arrived in Domantai in 20 minutes. Then I got off and walked for another 20 minutes. The return bus stop is where I got off, next to the roadside bus sign.

Cross can be bought in the tourist information center, ranging from one euro to dozens of euros. You can write down your name and blessing, and you can also set up your own cross in it to pray.
