Just outside of the citycentre of the capital of Lithuania lays a quarter called Uzupio.
This, rather rundown, part of the city has been declared independant many years ago by the poets, artists and squatters that lived in that part of town.
On a crumbling wall, Uzupio's 41 constitutional rules are stated.
These rules vary from 'Every cat has the right to be a cat' to 'Everyone has the right to be misunderstood' and even 'Everyone has the right to die, but this is not an obligation.'
On normal days you can walk in and out of Uzupio without any problems but on april the first, fools day and independance day for Uzupio, guards in clownesque outfits smiley-stamp your passport when you want to enter the freestate.
The area has a nice atmosphere and there is a free vibe with people walking around with instruments and artwork, a lot of colourful graffity on the walls a number of galleries and many houses that have artistic amendments.
China's unknown masterpieces from its Golden Age of History are seen for the first time in Europe.

Have a visit at the Royal Castle here in Stockholm, the Castle is located in the Old Town, a very beatiful and very old part of Stockholm.
Hotel Albion was built in 1840 and designed by the Milanese Sculptor Ignazio Villa.
This unique example of neo-gothic architecture was originally a school of sculpture.
