Vilnius Travel Guide

 38 Reviews  The Gate of Dawn is the only remaining gate (out of 9) from the old fortification built between 1503 and 1522 that surrounded Vilnius in the past. The Gate is nowadays a pilgrimage site. From time to time lots of people stand in front of it, looking up to the open space above the entrance, praying.... 

 44 Reviews  The St. Anne's Church (Sv Onos Baznycia) and Bernadine Monastery (Bernadinu Baznycia) are a fine Lithuanian Gothic ensemble located just next to each other The red brick St. Anne's Church dates back to the late 15th century and is still almost unchanged. The 15th century Bernadine monastery... 

 72 Reviews  A fine place just to stroll and people-watch is Cathedral Square. You'll find tourists mingling with locals and playing children as you enjoy the 57 meter tall belfry, the Cathedral itself, a statue of Gediminas, and excellent views of Three Crosses Hill. The best time to come is on a clear day near... 

 23 Reviews  There is a nice gallery located just at the river Vilnele. We actually came here to have breakfast in front of it, sitting on some stones near the water. Soon after our arrival, some artists came and started a conversation. They were very nice and explained a lot about their projects, Uzupis,... 

 22 Reviews  Late one afternoon, we decided on a whim to go and visit the Vilnius TV tower, which is inconveniently located amid estates of low rise apartments on the edge of the city. Despite its conspicuousness, it certainly wasn’t easy to find, but our determination was rewarded when we finally managed to... 

 24 Reviews  The Hill of Three Crosses, not to be confused with the Hill of Crosses outside Šiauliai, is a very noticeable sight on the outskirts of Vilnius. While it appears to be quite a distance away, it's actually only about a 20-30 minute walk and hill climb from the Cathedral. The crosses were first... 

 28 Reviews  This is a historical-memorial museum forming its collections following thematic principle. Historical-documentary material reflecting repression taken against the inhabitants of Lithuania by occupational regimes (1940-1990), material on the anti-Soviet and anti-Nazi resistance, information about... 

 18 Reviews  We visited this Church mid morning and had to wait 5 minutes for the service to finish before we could enter. The outside of the Church was old, the grounds anything but special and I wondered why we had stopped to view this church. Once inside, the answer was obvious, a extremely beautiful baroque... 

 15 Reviews  The Russian Orthodox Church of the Holy Spirit sits in a courtyard some 50m away from the Ausros Vartu gatve. It is a very tranquile area, perfect for contemplation. The church was built on the site of a former wooden church and was constructed in 1638 in the shape of a Latin cross. It was rebuilt... 

 13 Reviews  Perhaps the center of action in Vilnius, this thoroughfare cuts through the north side of the city center from the Neris River to Cathedral Square. Originally named Georgij Prospektas when it was built in the 19th Century, it was renamed a few times, once in honor of Stalin (then later Lenin after... 

 23 Reviews   A Bernardine monastery was founded on the site in 1469. Later on the church was built. It is known that one of the architects at the time of its building in 1500 - 1520 was Mykolas Enkingeris (Enkingeris = engineer?). After some reconstructions it was transformed in a more Baroque way during the... 

 2 Reviews and 90 Opinions  Very good quality accomodation. Service excellent as well. We had dinner one night, and it was good... 

 19 Reviews  We found this nice pub/restaurant/nightclub in the Old Town, very aptly named, THE PUB. We stayed for a few beers and then enjoyed the food they had on offer. Its a very nice place to go as its pretty much a 3-in-one type place. You walk in and its got a restaurant bit on thel left and on the right... 

 30 Reviews  Vilnius has a good system of buses and trolleybuses to get you where you need to go. Tickets can be purchased at most newspaper kiosks for 2 Litas per ride. When you board a bus or trolleybus, look for the place to insert your ticket, then push the hole puncher in to cancel your ticket. If you can't... 

 7 Reviews  Instead of hailing a cab off the street, call the cab company directly and you pay less per kilometer. Most cabs have the telephone numbers posted on the side. A good way to save a bit so you can buy more Utena beer! One other thing ... when taking a taxi from the airport, make sure you ask... 

 13 Reviews  We drove to Vilnius from a tiny Polish village near the Lithuanian border. The way seemed simple enough but my husband wanted to take a short cut, which wasn't a good idea. After some time we came across a closed bridge and had to make a long detour on bumpy roads. There were hardly any signposts... 

 15 Reviews  Walking south from the Town Walls and the Bastion we passed through some old streets with old houses really in bad conditions, which need absolutely some restorations, after which they could become really nice as they were before! This street should be Sv.Dviasios gatve, which is really close to the...
