Vilnius is the capital and largest city of Lithuania. The city is located about 30 km from the border with Belarus. This is the second city in terms of the number of inhabitants in the Baltic, is on the river Vilna (probably from here its name also happened).

By attributions, Prince Svintorog (1268-1271) chose a place on the river Vilnia for the grave. He ordered his heir to burn it after death and perform the burning ceremonies here.

Many years later Prince Gedimint went hunting in these parts. During the night, in these parts, he saw in a dream an iron wolf who howled. The priest explained the dream this way: the wolf is a city and a castle, in its howl it denotes glory.

Vilnius is the most important monetary, commercial and transport center of Lithuania. The main area of ​​the economy is tourism. Every year more than 1 000 000 people visit Vilnius. Many European highways pass through this city. Because of the terrain, there are no trams here, only trolleybuses and buses.
