"Discover the enchanting allure of Vilnius, Lithuania's capital city, as it illuminates along the banks of the meandering Nemunas River. This historic cityscape, with its stunning skyline of modern architecture and ancient spires, once played host to a pivotal moment in European history. Napoleon Bonaparte and Tsar Alexander I met on a floating pontoon in the Niemen River in 1807, marking the boundary of their territories. Witness this illustrious past and present convergence through the lens of Francois-Louis Couché's iconic painting, "Meeting of the Two Emperors," or explore the vibrant, illuminated cityscape from an elevated vantage point. Delve deeper into Lithuania's rich heritage as you traverse the waters of the Nemunas, connecting Vilnius with the bustling city of Kaunas." (DDE-90036506, DDE-90036456, Jan Luyken's "Sea chart of a portion of the Baltic coast of Poland and Latvia" offers a glimpse into the river's maritime history.
