Veni Vidi Vilnius

Vilnius is the capital of southernmost of the three Baltic countries, Lithuania, which during the 14th century was the largest country in Europe. Unlike Russia and its Baltic neighbors to the north, Lithuania is predominantly Catholic and Vilnius boasts a surprising amount of churches and cathedrals.

One fascinating tradition is for newlyweds to attach a padlock to a bridge, symbolizing the planned permanence of their union.
