New town
A complete contrast to the baroque Old Town of Vilnius is the so called New Town which was created after Lithuania's break from the Soviet Union.
Besides a modern shopping centre it is also home to the tallest skyscraper of the Baltic States.
The Europa Tower has a height of 148 m and was officially opened on the 1st May 2004 which was the day when Lithuania joined the European Union.
Another building which dominates the skyline of the New Town is the newly renovated 22-storey Reval Hotel Lietuva. It is the largest hotel in Vilnius and includes a Sky Bar which offers panoramic views of the city.
Directions:
The New Town is situated on the right bank of the Neris River in the Snipiskes district of Vilnius.
