Starting at Gediminas' Tower, I follow the winding path down through the park, the crunch of gravel beneath my feet echoing in the stillness. As I stroll along Maironio Street, the scent of fresh pastries wafts from a nearby café, tempting me to pause. The route takes me through the heart of the city, past the quaint buildings of the Old Town, before arriving at the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul. The intricate details of the church's facade draw me in, a perfect end to a short but delightful walk.
