    Review of: Vilnius Old Town
    Very baroque
    The old town has many baroque churches and also some orthodox ones. In places, it’s almost like an old Italian town.

    Review of: KGB Museum (Genocido Auku Muziejus)
    Must-Visit, Combine it with Soviet Vilnius Walking Tour
    The KGB Museum is dedicated to dark chapters in Lithuania's 20th century history.
    The upstairs exhibition rooms on the first and second floor are packed with powerful artefacts and photographs. The English explanatory panels are well designed and give an impressive overview of the time of Nazi and Soviet occupation. The stories and personal fates get under the skin.

    Especially the prison cells in the basement gave me goosebumps, even though I've been to other museums with KGB or Nazi prisons in the past. The cells as well as the execution chamber are left in their original condition.
    Not a museum for small kids!

    I would definitely recommend visiting (plan for ~2h)! Best combine it with the
    Soviet Vilnius Walking Tour by Vilnius with Locals!

    Review of: Vilnil. Museum of illusions
    Fun little break from sightseeing
    It was quite a good experience to be in the Museum of illusions. The Museum is easy to find with friendly staff, and the illusions are fun. There are small signs explaining all the illusions which also make for great learning.

    Review of: St. Anne's Church
    Beautiful Gothic Church
    This is a great brick Gothic cathedral. The interior is nice but the exterior is what is really enjoyable.

    Review of: Church Of St Peter And St Paul
    Incredible architecture
    One of the must-see churches if you come to Vilnius and want to discover the marvels of the architecture. It is even called the most beautiful church of Vilnius.

    Review of: Hill of Three Crosses
    Amazing
    We stopped here on the way from Riga to Vilnius expecting to see a hill with a few crosses but were amazed to find that there in fact more than 100,000 crosses and more are being added as we write this review! Interestingly the monument was originally established in the 19th century as a symbol of resistance to Russian rule. It is certainly worth a short stopover.

    Review of: Gate of Dawn
    A look into the real Vilnius
    Visiting the gate of dawn takes maybe 20 minutes. Go inside and experience the old polish women praying in front of the madonna. When we were there, a priest came out to take confessions. On a whole a short but interesting experience. No entrance fee.

    Review of: Uzupis
    Interesting Area
    The district of Uzupis, or is it the Republic of Uzupis? Interesting and very bohemian area close to the centre of Vilnius. Look out for the Constitution on a wall near the square. You can even get your passport stamped in the souvenir shop just over the bridge! A pleasant atmosphere with nice people and the Spunka Bar was very welcoming.

    Review of: Gediminas Castle Tower
    Gediminas Castle Tower: worth a visit
    You must go up a steep cobblestone walk, or you can take a cable car ( 1 euro each direction ). You
    may walk around for free, but there is a charge to enter the castle building.
    The views from the peak are fabulous.

    Review of: Paneriai (Ponar)
    Worth visiting to learn and pay respects
    We were the only people there when we visited and the museum was closed, but was worth the visit to learn about the history of the area and pay your respects, there was parking available and the drive there was beautiful, information is provided by the various monuments and statues

    Review of: Holy Spirit Orthodox Church
    Stunning and ornate interior.
    Superb Roccoco style interior. Exterior - Vilnian Baroque. Free to enter. Must be respectful if service is being conducted. Well worth a visit.

    Review of: Bernardine Gardens
    Favourite place in Vilnius
    One of my favourite places in Vilnius. The beautiful garden, with nice overgrown lawns, beautiful trees & flowers and the river. This is a place to go have a picnic in, to have a romantic walk in and just to hang out reading a book in. Watch locals stroll by, play with their kids. Enjoy the silence. Very, very nice.

    Review of: Vilnius University (Vilniaus Universitetas)
    Pay to get in but seeing and old school is neat
    Odd in way but pay to go in and to tower of cathedral as well, Was neat to wander the halls and see student life in a way. Tower was very good to go up, especially after a lot of walking and had elevator part way up.
