Vilnius
In August, the Lithuanian capital enjoys pleasant weather (the air temperature is around + 21˚C).
As part of excursion tours, vacationers will see the Cathedral (the interior decoration is of interest - everyone should admire the frescoes and paintings of the 16-19 centuries) and the Gediminas Tower (from its observation deck they will be able to enjoy beautiful views of the Old Town and the valley of the Viliya River; those who wish can view the museum exhibits - armor, weapons, models of Vilnius castles), stroll around the Užupis district (it is “filled” with numerous cafes, art galleries and workshops), look into the amber museum (guests are shown samples of amber of different sizes, colors and shapes), and also admire Vilnius and its surroundings from a height of 165 meters during dinner at the Milky Way restaurant, opened in the Vilnius TV Tower (taking the elevator takes a little more than 40 seconds, while going up on foot will have to climb more than 900 steps). Bungee jumping lovers like it - they jump from a 300-meter height (this extreme service is provided by the Euroversalas company).

Copenhagen
In August it is convenient to explore the capital of Denmark on a rented bike. There are more than 10 bike rental points in the city: if you take a “two-wheeled friend” at one station, you can return it to another. So, tourists will be able to see the Amalienborg Palace (the architectural ensemble includes 4 buildings with almost identical facades in the Rococo style - they form an octagonal square), Copenhagen City Hall (you can get to the observation deck of a 100-meter building by climbing stairs with 300 steps; and tourists will also be able to look at the Olsen astronomical clock), the monument to the Little Mermaid (be sure to photograph this character of Andersen's fairy tale captured in bronze), the Round Tower (famous for its observatory, where a 209-meter spiral road leads; from a 36-meter height, everyone will be able to admire old Copenhagen) and other attractions.
For beach lovers, Copenhagen (for this purpose, it is better to go in early August) has prepared several areas for swimming: “Amager” beaches (its northern part is used for swimming, and the southern part will be appreciated by everyone who wants to play and have a picnic in the fresh air), “Copencabana” (kids will feel at ease in a bath filled with warm water, and extreme lovers will be able to jump from any of 3 trampolines, 1, 2-3 m high) and “Svanemølle” (a shallow coastal zone is suitable for kids, and pier - for those who like swimming in deep water).
