Touring around the Museum of Genocide Victims

I am Lita from Copenhagen. Last year, my family and I decided to book a ticket to Vilnius in Lithuania for our vacation. I booked a ticket for each of us from Scandinavian Airlines. The airlines rendered great service thanks to the attendants present. I had a good time on board. When we have arrived at Vilnius, we explored several different museums and attractions in the city. One of the museums we visited was the Museum of Genocide Victims. The museum was very informative, we learned a lot about KGB. The original cells still present were fantastic, and the other rooms were interesting. Overall, the visit was well worth the reasonable ticket price. We spent a few days in Vilnius before booking a ticket back to Copenhagen.
