The 1-hr train ride from Kaunas to Vilnius was smooth and comfortable, and it costs 7.7 € (cheaper, faster than the bus ride). I walked to the hostel to drop my backpack and take Vilnius old town walking tour. The tour covered Cathedral square and its surroundings (where the first inhabitants of Vilnius settled), Vilnius University that is the oldest and the biggest in Lithuania, The presidential palace (a gleaming, white ceremonial building where the President works today), The Town Hall and its surroundings, The Republic of Užupis (that is the “separate country” close to the Old Town), St Anne’s and Bernardine churches (the gothic corner of Vilnius), etc.
