Great views of Vilnus and the surrounding area from the observation deck. Cafe has a full menu or just drinks seemed acceptable, the time was around 40 minutes for a full rotation.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION: visitors are allowed to the TV tower. You can look around Vilnius panorama and have lunch or dinner in the restaurant Pauksciu takas (Milky Way).
THE NEW FASHION: to jump from the tower (with gum, of course) Leave a Comment

Has revolving restaurant as well. Food was fine last time I went.
Whats special about it is that it was an one of the main confrontation sites when the Lithuanians were going for independence in 1991 and the Soviets used tanks to try to re-take it. Killed 14 unarmed civilians.
Easy taxi trip from centre.
There is a small museum section to commemorate the independence struggle. Directions: It is seen from all corners of Vilnius, district of KaroliniskesWebsite: http://www.lrtc.lt

 TV tower before Christmas by Sonic747
TV Tower when built in 70s was the 6th largest building in the world. Now it is some kind of Vilnius and probably national symbol. Since year 2000 celebrations, it is yearly transformed into world's largest christmas tree (picture at left) and it will be done so until year 2010. Also, in certain holidays it becomes tallest flagpole of Lithuania - flag (largest Lithuanian flag available) is risen on it. Fireworks are sometimes released from restaurant too.
Tower was one of the targets attacked by Russian army in attempt to retake Lithuania in January 13th of 1991. Armless people surrounded and defended the tower bravely (by blocking paths and not letting soldiers and vehicles nearby), however Russians shot at them and ran with tanks into crowds of people. Because of that, 13 people were killed and over 700 injured in this attack. Crosses for those dead are built near TV tower. The street where it stands is called "January 13th" and nearby streets are called by names of ones who sacrificed their lifes to defense the Freedom of Lithuania.
