Why It Feels Like Vilnius
Winnipeg's Exchange District — 20 blocks of intact 1880s–1920s terracotta and limestone commercial facades, the largest and best-preserved historic commercial district in Canada — channels Vilnius's Old Town in its density of ornate buildings, narrow laneways opening onto grand civic squares, and the quality of a city-within-a-city that time has preserved in amber. The confluence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers mirrors Vilnius's position at the meeting of the Neris and Vilnia rivers exactly.
What's Different from Vilnius
