Vilnius Travel Guide

 71 Reviews  One of Vilnius' main landmarks is the white Cathedral (Arkikatedra Bazilika). The current structure dates back to the early 15th century, but as most churches in Vilnius it suffered many fires. In the 18th century the building got its French-classicist appearance. During the Soviet area the... 

 22 Reviews  It's 326 m (1,000', or thereby) high, so from the observation deck you get the best view of city. It has a revolving restaurant at the top as well. The food was fine last time I went. What's special about it is that it was one of the main confrontation sites when the Lithuanians were going for... 

 23 Reviews  To go to the hill you need to walk within a path in a forest. The crosses are a basic tourist thing, not so confusing. In the hill you can see many red roofs of the old fashioned houses in Vilnius. I was there in the summer but I think the sight would be better when the trees have not yet growed... 

 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... 

 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.... 

 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,... 

 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... 

 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... 

 12 Reviews   This long avenue was formed at XIX century. Explorations showed in this place were some objects of medieval Vilnius, for example, some stabling, stoves, old buildings. Mostly every time going to Vilnius centre, I walk go through Gediminas avenue - this long street is considered to be the most... 

 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... 

 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...

 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...

 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...
