Vilnius, Lithuania




The tower in Vilnius is open to the public, but the admission price is outrageous. Of the towers that are open, they usually only cost a couple dollars to go inside. This one is almost $20! I didn't go up.



Another energy drink I couldn't pass up, this time of a Lithuanian basketball team. It's even endorsed by Arvydas Sabonis the former Portland Trailblazers center (he owns the team)!

Riga TV Tower










Easily the most elegant TV tower in the former Soviet Union, and it's open to the public!
It's amazing how they are all architecturally different. They didn't just take one design and put the same TV tower in every city. They made them all unique.
