Lithuania

In May 2023, I traveled to Vilnius for my friend David’s stag weekend, and it was easily my favorite of the three cities we visited. Vilnius is stunning, with a charming old town, welcoming locals, and a vibrant nightlife scene. While the stag was mostly a non-stop bar hop, we did manage to enjoy some of the city’s hidden gems, including a riverside spot where we listened to David’s “Mister and Misses” answers as the sun set. The most memorable moment, however, was David confidently strolling towards us in his maid outfit after a park pit stop. A brief but intense go-karting session with ten hungover lads was a mistake we’ll never forget. All in all, Vilnius is great for a weekend away or a stag—though it’s probably not top of my list for a return visit.
