Cathedral Square in the historical center of Vilnius at the foot of Castle Hill. The whole area includes the Cathedral of St. Stanislaus and bell tower at the cathedral.
It is one of the busiest places in the city. With many events and celebrations taking place. The weekend that I was visiting there was a marathon and a song and dance folk festival. The area has a very important status in the life of the city and embodies a symbol of all of Vilnius.

At the place where the Cathedral Square is located today, the Vilnya River carried its waters. But back in the days of Gediminas, people forced the river to go around, breaking a new channel for the river. Standing on the Cathedral Square, you can see the Gediminas Tower and the mountain of Three Crosses, visit the Cathedral and climb the bell tower of the Cathedral. And on the square at the foot of the cathedral bell tower there is an interesting point - embedded tiles with a circular inscription "stebuklas".

This square in Vilnius is so beautiful that the half can be enough.
The cathedral and the clock tower alone is so nice.
Clean place.
You feel safe
Not to much people there overcrowded is not my favourite.
Benches You can relax on.
Wlak into the amusement park.
Up to Tower up in the hill or a start point for nature trip.
Restaurants close to the place.
National museum a few meter away.
You dont go to Vilnius and not visit this place then You will be sad home.

The square has a bell tower and a monument of the Grand Duke Gediminas complete with a little wolf. The square also also has the Stebuklas Miracle Tile near the bell tower - we read online that if you stand here or spin on this tile three times you can make a wish.
The cathedral is worth checking out too and they even offer crypt tours but they have to be reserved ahead of time. The cathedral is located near the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania, Gediminas Avenue, Gediminas Tower and many more attractions of Riga.

This is the central spot of Vilnius and we passed through here often on our trip. It is a large square and it was filled with the Christmas markets and an enormous Christmas tree when we visited. It had also snowed so that made it even prettier! Lovely photo opportunities to be had!

The UNESCO protected square and city. This square is the main focal point of the beautiful city.
For the holidays it was most beautiful with the loveliest Christmas tree. There was also a Christmas fair/market on site.
The Cathedral square features most prominently the Bell Tower and the Cathedral, the Dukes museum is to the side.
Opposite the square the hop on hop off bus could have been see and the red Christmas train.
It's a lovely square and a must-see attraction.

We were here on Christmas Day. It was a beautiful Christmas tree this year. I've only seen pictures from previous years and there were certainly two or three interesting ones, but for a pandemic period everything is fine and beautiful and safe.

Nice Old town even if winter time no snow.
You must be there and walk around. Great view day and night time. First time in Vilnius myself, recommended everyone who visit this nice part of old town.

This place is located in the Old Town and is one of the most important parts of it. It's a very spacious square loved both by the locals and tourists. It's easy to access the two main streets (Pilies gatve and Gedimino prospektas) having your starting point or meeting place there.

The best place to be in Vilnius if you are visiting between 1 December and 7 January is on the main square of the Old Town, where the biggest Christmas market in Vilnius takes place. It’s full of holiday spirit with stalls offering mulled wine and snacks, as well as nice gifts and souvenirs from local artists. One can also visit the Basilica of the Vilnius Cathedral located on the square for the Christmas Eve Mass.

What do the bronze footprints located in Vilnius Cathedral Square represent?
Written July 3, 2018
Apparently they represent where the first person in the Baltic Chain of Freedom stood in 1989... some 2 million people eventually joined hands to demonstrate for independence from USSR.
