Also, Lithuanians don't like anything that is soviet, including Vilnius airport, cannot wait for it to be demolished and rebuilt. Lithuania was not part of soviet union, Lithuania was occupied and opressed by the soviet union, so we don't look at any soviet relics fondly, they scar our country, Lithuanians were the first ones to escape the soviet union and announce independence. Good to be mindful of that when you're a tourist.

That exhibition about Belarus is by a Belarusian artist who is now in exile in Lithuania because of his activist art, he was being persecuted in Belarus. There are hundreds of Russian and Belarussian political refugees living in LT.

Great way to spend my lunch break watching your first impressions of Vilnius. Looking forward to the rest of your travel vlog bud!

Great Vlog Wendal. Nice seeing you venture to somewhere not many other KZfaqrs go.

Thank you! Amazing ❤

Lavas Wendall thanks for the Video. Glad you found the hotel and got on okay with the App. I really thought your Burger was going to knock MacDonald For 6!! What a surprise i had high hopes when you took it out of the bag. The architecture of the buildings looks impressive, worth a visit. Look forward to see what other culinary surprises you find on your travels. Achoo… think that was buy??? Enjoyed the video alot.

When I travelled to France in the 90-ties there was a chain of hotels (Premiere or Etap?) without staff. But instead of a phone you needed to enter your invoice number everywhere you went, to enter the hotel, to go to your room, to go to the shower which was in the corridor, not in your room. And the invoice no was so long, that it was imposible to memorize. And imagine having a shower with the invoice on you? But I was with friends so there was always someone to open the door for you or accompany you to the shower room.

Always love watching your non Cornwall videos Ollie. Making me want to travel again 🇮🇹

Very enjoyable trek with you mate, cheers n/

Hello 👋 awesome video 😊😉❤❤ I’am from Vilnius 😊

So I just moved back to the UK from Lithuania and was looking for a vloggers who shows more of the UK, but surprisingly you also do videos about the Lithuania as well, nice!

Welcome to LT. Hope you try šaltibarščiai and some really good LT beers while you are here. There is plenty to see. I would also recommend flying an airballoon. Great views and a very nice activity:)

Hello, Wendal . My name is Anastasia and I'm originally from Lithuania. If you'll get a chance to visit Visaginas, you'll be welcomed there. It's the only town in whole country where majority are Russian speakers. Also, you will be able to see the wonderful lakes and Nuclear power plant , which is currently shut down.

coming to Lithuania and trying hesburger. You go there if u r like desperate/ lazy /out of hours and nothing is working :D maybe its your job to check fast food but cmon. Could get full fresh healthy meal by adding few euros. + You tell all stuff is soviet : its wrong its mainly german. Soviet were capable of building only trash boxes cant even call it architecture.

you could just use the key that was in your room if the battery is almost empty 😊 11:39

Not a bad room for the money, and the phone entry is very modern, but as you said, if your phone packs up while you're out you'd have to shin up the drainpipe to get in! 🙂

NFC indeed is magic to me

Lithuanians don't like being called eastern european (because of its association with russia). Many prefer being called northern european or just simply Baltic.

Really interesting. I haven't been there ever so it is good to see it in the video 😊 Staffless hotels are not uncommon in Norway, like the City Box hotels we have. But most are staffed. Poor you and the disaterous meal 😳😖😊 And best of luck further on.

You never know where your going to pop up next Wendall 😁.... great video and so interesting to see these places and really looking forward to seeing more of Lithuania and it's people 🙏👌. Very interesting way of entering a hotel...not sure how I would feel about that if I was staying by myself... I think I would feel safer with more staff around. I always enjoy your walks around the cities and learning more about their culture and history ✊. Shame about the burger but needs must when your starving eh 😉😂👍🇱🇹

why you got Aleksandr Lukashenko in the thumbnail ?

We don't go to Hesburger to eat their McDonald's counterparts. We go there to eat their unique burgers. For example their BBQ Burger was for a long time my personal holy grail. Also they use mayo in their cheeseburgers which I find preferable over McD

you come to other country and u order from hesburger?? dude..

👍👍👍

I’m Australia we pronounce Ibis as i-bus or Bin Chicken

🍺 before Food 😂

I wouldn't be very politically correct with my comment here. But 10 minutes into this video was enough for me as a proud Lithuanian. This dude came here with a bunch of cliché approach. He expected a non English speaking hotel staff, he assumed the egg statue was soviet etc. WTF? Did he watched too much of a bald and bankrupt videos, didn't he? Dude showed so much of ignorance.

Hello and thank you for visiting Vilnius and for your review. However I noticed some bias in expectations for Lithuania. 1. Soviet stuff. Lithuania is not Soviet for almost 33 years now. It was the first republic to break off USSR, to stop Soviet rule, which lead to complete collapse of the Soviet Empire. Let respect that. And you came desperately looking for anything Soviet on your way like it is the only field of interest for you. We don't live and talk Soviet, it is not part of our lives for a long time. And you kept bothering a taxi driver pointing at every building on your way calling it "Soviet" and "not Soviet". Many locals would not even know what you mean. 2. Hesburger. Has nothing to do with Lithuania. And it is not here to kill McDonalds or outweigh it. It is just another fast food chain, the giant from Scandinavia operating like in 17 European countries. They brought you lukewarm burger and didn't smile - sorry, not your lucky day. The girl who served you by the look of her hair braid was not even Lithuanian (Litho girls do NOT wear single thick braid of hair). She was most probably Ukrainian refugee working for minimal salary and would not speak not only English but probably not even Lithuanian. And her house was destroyed in a war. Sorry that she didn't smile and dance for you while bringing entry level promo price burger in a cheapest fast food chain where better doing Lithuanians don't even eat. 3. Lithuania is not Monte Carlo and not Dubai but also it is not Albania, Moldova or Kyrgyzstan (it could be but it is NOT!). It went thru massive transformation and as a ex-Soviet state that was suffering from communism for 50 years, it could NOT do better that it is already doing now. Let respect that. Best of luck with your travels, peace and no hard feelings.

The no contact hotel operates exactly like the Amazon Book Store 34th St. Manhattan, New York City. You need e-key to enter, purchase and leave. Ironic. Amazon Book Store caused demise of all bookstore chains in New York City.. Imagine Paris without book kiosks.

I had Hesburger when I was in Lithuania. It was fine. A cross between McDonalds & Burger King.

Or a hand with a hollow palm can never be full 😂

The very good lessons to our "soviet fans" who left all this soviet sh**, including stalinist "Vilnius airport" and brezhnev "sport palace". Thank you!

👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Lithuania europian cantry, Lithania cantry - king cantry

If you thinking that fast food can be 'a treat' in Lithuania you will be disappointed. We have very different taste for a food,very traditional national kitchen and all this fast food ,which came into our country not very long time ago,has no traditions or roots here. It is a foreign food,not healthy and not tasty.This is food for very young people mostly. You need to do homework before you are going somewhere to avoid disappointment :) When I've tried traditional fish and chips in England I was disappointed too,because it was no where near that beautiful fresh fish taste I used to buy in Klaipeda market :)

Guiness and Hesburger. Cmon man, u could have had a sooo much better experience. Lithuanian beer iš not that bad, u could have tried it

I remember when I ordered from a place called Best Kebab. God that burger taste like shit. It was and still is the worst food I have ever put in my mouth and after 5 years, I am not sure how that place is still running. As for your experience, you probably should just went to some underground bar and got a full, fresh and tasty meal for the same price. Younger people know how to talk English and could provide directions, but I also understand your fatigue from the long trip so going with what you know can be simpler.(happened to me once lol)

Soviet egg :D

Hesburgers and mcdonaldses same as Kfc and shiatty pizza like Papas and Dominos not popular in Lithuania because they are shiat

this dude just did a review on hesburger like it suppose to be better and he is disappointed :D

One thing i would say, u made shitties decision while u there :D Why would you go for fast food somewhere where traditional food is phenomenal and we have dooooooope lagers there :D

Is this thing in lithuania 😂😂i never knew

Oh no.. not the hesburger.. Hesburger compared to McD is like pepsi to coke. If you like mayo a lot- you'd chose hes

Wow 2/10 Wendall, it defo looked tastier than those 2.5/10 pierogies

You don't know how dissappointed I was when I heard Hesburger ahhahaha. Hesburger is trash ahahaha

Hesburger way better than mcd, fries are gross tho, thats the one negative thing about hesburger

fast food in Lithuania is not great, when you said you're going to hesburger I literally said please dont do that to yourself. Even McDonalds is really bad. Price wise nice restaurants have same prices as fast food chains and you'll get a proper nice meal in Lithuanian restaurants, theres literally no point going fast food thats why you'll find a lot of them empty. anyway it was interesting to see your first reaction lol :D

Jau kaip Vilniaus aerouostas fainiai atrodo, Valio tavarišči!

Mate, let me tell you one thing about Lithuania and Lithuanian people, if you call them eastern Europeans, it's like you coming to Glasgow Ranger fans pub and start praising a Glasgow Celtics...and if you praising a soviet stuff in them eyes, it's like you worship Adolph Hitler in front of a Jews...

I can't even watch. So ignorant...

Locals eat in Drama burger or Cili for realy good burgers. Better burgers than Mc. Why are you whining about this one fast food chain.

If McDonallds is shit food, Hesburger is BULL SHIT!.. You should try real meal!!!

C'mon dude who gives a crap about a Fastfood Bürger, Just Go to a restaurant and eat some Lithuanian food.

😂 Lithuania isn't Eastern Europe. Lithuania like other Baltick countries according to the UN geoscheme belongs to North European countries. 🤪😜

Northern Europe not east

Medieval baltic country hahaha visits different country eats at hesburger lol you brits are so weird 😅 iv seen so many going for Chinese bufey and eats chicken nuggets with chips 😂😂😂
