    The capital of Lithuania between modern and tradition shows the perfect preservation of old culture and history by developing the commercial business at the same time.

    It was disturbing sense of reality. How cruel the Soviet occupation was and the feeling that it could happen again. It should be on everyone’s list when visiting Vilnius.

    Went there for an evening reception. A unique place, having a festive atmosphere as becomes an event location - credit to the events company.
    However I left a bit early and had a chance to look around the remnants of the old prison at night which did bring a contrast - chill even, to the festivities.
    A poignant experience!

    HES team had a wonderful experience at the Museum of Illusions! Our guide, Anastasija, was incredibly professional and provided us with an excellent introduction to the museum's exhibits. She presented the information in an engaging and detailed manner, helping us understand how the exhibits work. We were delighted that everything could be touched, and we even got to take some unique team photos! A heartfelt thanks from the HES team to the VILNIL team for the interesting time we spent there, and a special thanks to our guide, Anastasija! Once you visit VILNIL, you realize that it is a place you always want to return to!

    A very pleasant double surprise, the first to admire Saype's latest work, and the second, once at the top, to discover the panoramic beauty of the city seen from above! Impressive!

    Vilnius has many churches but none like this one. The brick exterior survived Napoleon and the Russians. Take a look at the variety of bricks on display on the side. You’ll see where animals left their mark during formation of the bricks.

    You’ll get a view here that is similar to the one at the Gediminas Tower but the path up goes through the woods. Some metal stairs, some wood, and part gravel/cobblestone path. Best light is in late afternoon when the crosses are bright white.

    We really enjoyed our visit, but do your research before you go so you know what to seek out. There are some lovely bakeries, as well as many historical places, and some great street art.
    Be aware that quite a lot seemed to be closed in February, and most shops don’t open until at least 11, with many not opening until 12 noon.
    It is definitely worth visiting, and you need a good couple of hours here to explore everything.

    The Church of St. Peter and St. Paul regarded as the most famous Baroque church of Vilnius is recognized worldwide as one of the most beautiful Catholic churches in the world and I cannot agree more. It is definitely a pearl of architecture.

    The church’s founder, M. K. Pacas, died in 1682 before construction was completed. M.K. Pacas is buried in a crypt just below the entrance to the church, with an inscription that reads, “Here lies a sinner.”

    The whole Ausros Vartu (Gate of Dawn) street is an unmissable part of Vilnius. There are three beautiful churches near each other and many quaint shops and restaurants. The actual Gate of Dawn chapel is also great to see. When I visited there was a mass going on and you could hear the singing down on the street. The chapel itself is quite small and might not be so interesting unless you're a practising Catholic.

    The interior is a little disappointing and surprisingly sparse but free to visit. The exterior is imposing, though, and the surrounding square is lively and impressive.

    Fascinating albeit sad look at Jewish/Holocaust history in Vilnius. Even found a potential relative on a board of Jewish members of the Vilnius town council before the war. They have even built a hideaway in the attic to get a sense of what people went through.

    The museum The Green House was founded by survivors.

    A lot of history and small but so well done.

    A very sad and important Holocaust memorial site where 100,000 people were murdered (of which 70,000 were Jews). I booked a private guide, a gentleman who specialized in Jewish history and I really believed this enhanced my visit as he was able to offer a lot of information about this site. Either way, this is in an important site to have on your schedule while visiting Vilnius.

    I liked the green interior. The church is very ornate, but to me that distracts from having an experience with a living God.

    We picked a lovely day to visit the Vilnius TV Tower, blue skies and great visibility. We had our lunch in the revolving restaurant on the 19th floor and the food was good and reasonably priced considering you were a captive audience. The restaurant took about an hour to go through 360 degrees. We had to pay €11 each basically just to go up and down in the lift, if we hadn’t eaten in the restaurant we don’t know what was available just to take in the view.
