Lithuania may be a small country today, but once the joint
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth included much of present-day Poland,
Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Belorussia, and Ukraine. This is why
Vilnius has one of the largest surviving medieval towns in Northern
Europe, covering well over three square kilometers. So Vilnius is well
worth visiting just for the sights, but it also happens that you can
find a very rare beer style
here: kaimiškas, or Lithuanian farmhouse
ales.
