Residential Areas featuring Soviet Era 'commieblocks'. They look a little scary to a typical Westerner but mostly the build-qulity and energy efficiency characteristics are excellent. This kind of housing has also contributed to excellent communications infrastructure - Vilnius is one of the best connected cities in terms of Fibre Optic Broadband reach to the end user (FTTH) in the whole world.
