Vilnius supermarket

Short Baltic Trip: Evening walk, Hāles Turgus

Hāles Turgus (Market Hall)

After I arrived in Vilnius, Lithuania, I took a bus to Hotel CONTI.  It was already 8 o'clock but not dark yet so I did a short sightseeing.  Everything were closed and the city was very quiet.  There was a big hall on the other side of street but it's already closed (found later that it's a market hall).  Under the hall was a small local grocery store and still opened.

Half of the room was full of bottles

I wanted to try local snacks and beer but they didn't accept euros so I could just look around and check the prices.  Lithuania is pretty cheap compare to other countries in Baltic states.  It has it's own currency called "Litas (LTL)" with the rate of 1 Litas = 0.37 USD.  Here are example pictures of liquor and beverage with cheap price.
