The capital of Lithuania has today turned its largest square into an "Open Beach", with white sand, sun loungers and a giant screen that will broadcast images and sounds from the ocean.

"If people of Vilnius cannot go to the sea, then the sea will come to Vilnius," said the mayor Remigijus Simasius of the Lukiskes Square project, adding: "The popular seaside resorts of Southern Europe are not easily accessible at the moment, and our Baltic Sea beaches will be overpacked this summer. That's why we needed a solution to help people recoup some of that vacation vibe on Vilnius' very own beach."
