Interviews: with Margo

1. What is the essence of Vilnius?
Strolling the cobbled street of the ancient old town, relaxing in one of the many parks, enjoying beautiful views over the city from the bell tower, watching balloons wandering across the sky on a summer evening, but most of all the friendly local people is what makes Vilnius the perfect weekend getaway.

2. What is your favourite restaurant/ place?
There are lots: Huracan coffee for a coffee, Sugamour for sweets, Gatves Kepejai for bread, Boom burgers for an easy dinner and Bistro Pranciskonai for haute cuisine.

3. Where do you go out?
I love to watch an English movie at cinema Pasaka in old town, preceded by dinner and drinks at la Bohème. Also in summer I love to visit food festivals as Vilnius Open Kitchen or Vilnius Burger Fest.

4. Describe a perfect day in Vinius city
Having a latte and croissant at one of the many coffee places Vilnius holds, walking through old town and do some shopping at traditional Lithuanian shops, climbing up the Gediminas tower for a gorgeous view over Vilnius, strolling through Bernardinu gardens and visiting Vilnius' bohemian and artistic district Uzupis, having dinner at Saint Germain’s outdoor terrace while enjoying artworks on the walls of Literatu street.

5. Please tell me more about yourself
I am 38 years old and originally from the Netherlands, I moved to Vilnius in April 2016. I live in the old town and love to stroll the city taking pictures of historical places. I like reading comics and Stephen King novels, as well as playing chess and boardgames.
