To fly or not to fly? Difficult question. But not for me. I don’t think long. I’m buying a ticket and voilà - one hour and I’m in the capital of Lithuania.
My travel partner is my younger son Vladyslav. He’s 11.
He adores to visit new countries and cities. But he’s child and, of course, he wants to visit some kid-friendly places. Let’s begin to discover Vilnius!
Is it kid-friendly town?
Absolutely - yes! My son confirmed it! There are many interesting museums, parks and playgrounds. What my son recommends?
Museum was founded in 1966. It’s situated in the old building of Central Train Station.
Museum has outdoor and indoor expositions. You can touch some artifacts and models. Children like it!
The museum has stored over 10000 different exhibits.

Absolutely incredible place! Do you believe your eyes? Are you sure? Let’s visit Museum of illusions!
Museum was founded 2016. During three years it became very popular kid-friendly place. There are nearly 70 exhibits.They demonstrate optical illusions, 3-D art, virtual reality.
People can walk on walls and on the ceiling. Don’t believe?

3. Museum of energy and technology
The museum is closed now for renovation from 1st July to 2nd September. But me and Vladyslav were there before closing. There are many exhibitions - of energetics, of Vilnius industry, of interactive science etc.
The building of this museum is very interesting. In 1903 it was the first power plant in Vilnius.
My son was excited with the interactive exhibition. It was really cool.
Tickets price: 4 EUR for adult, 2 EUR for pupil and student
Is it accessible town?
More than. Mostly every shops, museums, restaurants and all parks are suitable for people with disabilities.
Old town is accessible - including ancient castles and fortresses.
There are special guotes for blind people.
Is it dog friendly town?
If my dachshund Dozitta was in Vilnius she was very happy. Lithuanians adore dogs! They walked with pets everywhere. Only one rule exists - cleaning after your dog.
Water for dogs is everywhere - not only in cafes or restaurants but in supermarkets and on the street.
I like to have breakfast with my dog in cosy cafe with tasty croissant and latte. I’m sure my Dozitta will love Vilnius.
