February 16 – Day of the Restoration of the State of Lithuania. In 1918, we reclaimed our freedom. Our language, flag, and identity—no longer suppressed. Today, we stand free. We celebrate, protect, and carry it forward! 📸 Gabriel Khiterer

January 13 marks Lithuania's Freedom Defender's Day. In 1991, unarmed citizens faced Soviet tanks, fighting for freedom with courage and unity. Their bravery reminds us that liberty is precious. Today, we honor their sacrifice and celebrate independence. 📸 Ranco Photography

Santas’ board meeting on the Vilnius TV Tower. Rumor has it, they’re revising the naughty list and debating the milk-to-cookie ratio. FYI, Santas’re leaning toward extra cookies. 🍪🥛 📸 AHOY

Happy Singles’ Day from the most eligible bachelor in Vilnius! Ghosted for centuries? Maybe… but Gediminas Tower is way too iconic to care.   P.S. When you’ve seen it all, you start to realize that being single isn’t so bad after all.

And that's it, Vilnius! The marketing team has decided—this is our last autumn post of the year! 🍂 It may be early November, but Christmas lights are up, and it’s holiday chaos time! 🎄 P.S. If we go quiet, we’re probably deep in a Harry Potter marathon. 📸 Gabriel Khiterer
