Be sure to have a full tank of gas, because Vilnius is worth a detour. Situated 25 miles from Galaverknis, it boasts some terrific attractions, such as Vilnius Cathedral and Gates of Dawn. Nothing says living it up like a road trip, so keep on cruising to Kaunas. It’s 40 miles away and also has a few appealing sights, such as Kaunas Castle and Ninth Fort.
