Morning light lifts over Vilnius as the group gathers and the van eases onto narrow streets—rooflines, church towers and a river flash by. The first climb up Gediminas Hill gives a quick breath of the city: red roofs, the winding Vilnia, and about twenty towers piercing the skyline. From here the day moves like a counterpoint, shifting between intimate Old Town alleys and broader panoramas in Kaunas.
