The most interesting and beautiful tourist sites in Vilnius
Photos, reviews, descriptions, and links to maps
There are cities in Europe that are bright, shiny and noisy, and there are cities like Vilnius – at first glance modest, unremarkable, but with a special atmosphere, interesting history and its own secrets. The tourist route here is not limited to the small territory of the traditional Old Town. It leads further – to the bohemian Užupis district, to the fortresses of the heyday of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and magnificent Baroque churches.
Vilnius was a prosperous city already in the XV-XVI centuries. Here markets bustled, missionaries of Catholic orders preached, and princes conducted state affairs. Many architectural monuments have survived from those times, and each of them can tell its own unique story.
The streets and squares of the Old Town – the place where the history of Vilnius began. Temples, souvenir shops and restaurants are hidden in the depths of medieval quarters. The main sights of the Lithuanian capital are concentrated here. The historical centres of the cities of Northern Europe are somewhat similar to each other, but each has its own peculiarities, so a walk through the old part of Vilnius will bring real pleasure to tourists.
