Vilnius
Lithuania's capital is the Baltic's most beautifully preserved baroque city — a UNESCO-listed old town of pastel church domes, cobblestone lanes, and courtyard cafes that has reinvented itself as one of Eastern Europe's most vibrant and affordable destinations. The independent republic of Užupis, the Frank Zappa monument, and the extraordinary Gate of Dawn mark a city that refuses easy categorization.
