Vilnius is the capital city of Lithuania and boasts nearly 25% of the Baltic State’s income, as one of the largest financial centers. The region remains one of the largest Jewish communities and areas to study the Torah in Eastern Europe.
Shortly after the fall of the Soviet Empire, the KGB headquarters was reopened as the Museum of Genocide. Many tortures and executions took place in the basement of this building, including Jews in the Holocaust days and later, wealthy residents of which the KGB had suspicion. To keep the original integrity, the museum features a glass floor, under which real remnants of torture remain, as well as a nearby water-torture room.
Compliments of a communist empire, the remaining electric buses are a convenient and fun way to travel the city and see the historic Gates of Dawn, Old Town and Uzupis neighborhood.
Historical travelers and sightseers traveling in Eastern Europe may enrich their experience with a stop in Vilnius.
