A great beer hall and restaurant just outside the city, by river and some sort of watermill! A sort of traditional style place with plenty of local people and fewer tourists!
The town has a very interesting layout constisting of 6 (SIX!) market squares. The most interesting is Great Market Square which is surrounded by 17th century houses.
Isn't this the all-seeing eye? On the wall of a Roman Catholic church in Vilnius. Very interesting.

You can't pass up the opportunity to have your picture taken with an angel!
Tauragnai is the gateway to the National park Aukstaitija. It is bigger and looks more modern than the villages inside the Park, but its location on a hill overlooking a lake is unbeatable.
Scenecally located on the lake Lausiai, Paluse is one of the most delightful and traditional villages we visited in Lithuania.
This old mansion was built ca in the middle of XVIII century. It looks quite shabby now but still it's attractive.
