Lithuania Really Surprised Me | Vilnius 2024

[@JakeBraymiller]

Have you ever been to Vilnius?

[@markust7709]

@@JakeBraymiller I have but sadly did not see you there!

[@auszuriuk]

Yes! I live here now :)

[@Bad_Artist_]

Yes! 1984 during Soviet times. 1993 after independence. Quite a contrast, but even more beautiful now, as you described!

[@malgorzataj6356]

I live in Vilnius😂

[@werafonas]

🇱🇹 ❤️

[@markust7709]

You make really good videos. Kudos! But you know what really adds to it and makes the difference? Is who makes it. You are really cool to look at and watch.

[@ingridasvilainyte8783]

Theres a lot Construction and work in progress introducing even more Bicycle paths etc into pedestrian infrastructure, so film it after work is done not as it disassambled :)

[@niharranjanmishra4562]

till when it will be finished? the construction

[@ingridasvilainyte8783]

It is done faster then you think. Infrastructural change is taking place in every area.

Ane? Cia vadinasi tvarkoma? Jokiu stop zenklu, uztvaru. Vilnius yra griuvantis miestas su plastkiniais langais, durim, autentiskumo niokojimu, tinklais apkabinetais fasadais, ondar tokios vatos kaip tu aiskina kad nereik turizmo nes kainas kelia😁😁 ekonomikos eksperte

[@simas941]

Glad you enjoyed my hometown

[@JakeBraymiller]

I really did!

[@ingridasvilainyte8783]

Hello Jake! Hope you liked your trip and it was worth it :)

[@JakeBraymiller]

Definitely! It was great :)

[@Cary-f9f]

Thanks

[@tantuce]

Saw you on tiktok just :))

[@lamhizz]

At evening suggest visiting Savičiaus street as it has cozy bars community.

[@JakeBraymiller]

Thanks for the tips!

[@Not-famous]

1. This is not Gediminas Castle. It is actually just 1 remaining tower of the castle. Also, Gediminas Hill lost its beauty when it was desecrated and all the trees were cut down. Then the slope started to slip and so on because the roots of the trees could no longer support it. 2. Personally, I like the view from the Hill of the Three Crosses much better. 3. There are many interesting places in Vilnius that are not shown by other tourists making similar videos. It's true that you have to go further away from the centre, but it's definitely worth it.

[@JakeBraymiller]

Thanks for the info! Vilnius has so much to offer 👍🏻

[@lamhizz]

You should get up to Sv. Jonų church bell tower. I has great old town view.

[@siuksliukaralius7029]

Super underrated city in Europe. Sure and lets keep it this way. I don't want it to turn into the rest of europe.

[@TheMrAKMapping]

Isn't the TV tower the tallest?

[@JakeBraymiller]

In my research it said the Europa tower

[@vidmantasb5993]

The TV tower indeed is the tallest structure in Lithuania, but the Europa Tower is the tallest *skyscraper* in the Baltic States.

[@TheMrAKMapping]

@@vidmantasb5993 oh ok

[@tomgedas]

hmm, if ya saying this building is tallest in balstic what about the tv towers?

[@JakeBraymiller]

I’m not sure! When I looked it up it said this was the tallest. Maybe the TV towers don’t count as “buildings”. Or the Europa Tower is taller than them? Would need to look more into it

[@vilijaa1821]

👏✌️👍✌️

[@JakeBraymiller]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@ilokanongmakulit5853]

Soon I will come to work in lithuania🙏🙏🙏

[@JakeBraymiller]

Do it!

[@bomboz5540]

I REALLY want to visite the country , are the ppl nice ?!

[@JakeBraymiller]

They were so nice and welcoming!

[@karkevicius]

Lithuania isn’t Eastern Europe, maybe that’s why you’re so surprised?

[@JakeBraymiller]

What countries do you consider Eastern Europe?

[@ZigzauerLT]

​@@JakeBraymiller slavic ones. And we're not Slavs.

[@JakeBraymiller]

Thanks!

[@karkevicius]

@@JakeBraymiller Doesn’t really matter what I consider to be Eastern Europe, The UN, Britannica, and countless other organizations and institutions correctly label it as Northern European. If you ask me for my personal and pragmatic opinion,I think Lithuania is Northeastern Europe, same with the rest of the Baltics and Finland.

[@Dede_Stepas]

@@karkeviciusonly geographically. Culturally, religion and history wise we are central Europe. Same as Poland.

[@carl2994]

Sorry, but no more tourists here, that's enough, we Lithuanians want more of our own culture and language, nobody speaks Lithuanian in the Old Town now.

[@ingridasvilainyte8783]

Agree :) Vilnius is not Tallinn or Riga whom heavily rely on a Drunk Finn Tourism from Finland in one case, or rich Russian with "USSR grievance" tourism from Russia on the other. Vilnius is more laid down, rustic, live, liberal, green, artistic and independent, it has own vibe you feel but you cant explain. Tourism just raises the prices and is burden for locals.

[@ganjaaboss]

In that case, it would be only fair for you to refrain from traveling to any other countries.

[@danutebartoseviciene8496]

​@@ganjaabossDon't listen to people writing nonsense: we are a very hospitable nation and welcome tourists from all over the world. Russian speaking immigrants - a totally different problem that has nothing to do with tourism.

[@danutebartoseviciene8496]

​@@ingridasvilainyte8783Don't confuse tourisms and immigration.

[@becauseofreason]

@carl2994 Sorry, but no more people like you here. As a lithuanian i dont want tou here anymore. Varyk i ryga ar talina
