Vilnius simply charmed me. Traces of Polishness are present here at every step. The city was the residence of as many as sixteen Polish kings, who at the same time had the title of Grand Dukes of Lithuania. In Vilnius you can find a lot of mementoes of Adam Mickiewicz, and the most unusual place is the Gate of Dawn with the Image of Our Lady of the Gate of Dawn, whose cult was popularized by the poet in "Pan Tadeusz". However, what I remember most is the chance meeting at the Upper Castle of young Polish tourists, who at one point unfurled our flag, posing with it for a commemorative photo.
