On the afternoon of June 12, 1987 in what was still known as West Berlin, Ronald Reagan delivered an impassioned speech to Mikhail Gorbachev demanding that he henceforth pull down the Berlin Wall. Despite the wall not technically being Gorbachev’s to pull down in the first place, and regardless of the fact that Reagan’s comment barely made the headlines, just 29 months later this is exactly what happened.

The Old Town, historical centre of Vilnius, is one of the largest in Eastern Europe (360 ha). The most valuable historic and cultural heritage is concentrated here. The buildings in the old town – there are about 1.5 thousand of them – were built in a number of different centuries, therefore, it is a mixture of all European architectural styles. Although Vilnius is often called a baroque city, here you will find some buildings of gothic, renaissance and other styles. The main sights of the city are the Gediminas Castle and the Cathedral Square, symbols of the capital. Their combination is also a gateway to the historic centre of the capital. Because of its uniqueness, the Old Town of Vilnius was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
