Vilnius
Lithuania
Lithuania's capital has the largest Baroque Old Town in Eastern Europe (UNESCO, 70+ churches), but its most singular feature is Užupis — a self-declared breakaway republic that announced independence on April Fool's Day 1989, has its own "president," and has posted its Constitution in 23 languages on a wall. Gediminas' Tower overlooks the city from a hill that's also the end of the 1989 Baltic Way human chain (675 km of people holding hands from Tallinn to Vilnius). One of Europe's most underrated capitals.
