Paneriai & Vilnius TV Tower

Paneriai is between Trakai and Vilnius and is home to a stunning manor house- with out-buildings such as stables and incredible gardens. Voke Manor Park as it is known had no other tourists except us-which made it even better to visit. The inside of the manor is still be renovated but the outside is stunning!

The park was established in 1884.

It is not my usual sort of stop- a TV Tower- but my man was into hanging off cliffs and buildings alike. With my fear of heights, it was not my preferred activity, but I was interested in seeing the views over the city. As can be expected in is very communist – the apartment blocks all look rather alike and just a few small hills around the city. To give an idea of size- the city has a population of about 600,000. This was our last stop before settling into our pretty central Airbnb near the centre of Vilnius- walking distance to everything we wanted to see.
