Description
Explore Vilnius, "The Jerusalem of the North," revealing scars and stories of the past. Immerse in its authentic Old Town, green spaces, and cultural vibrancy.
Once called ”The Jerusalem of the North”, Vilnius is the kind of a city that likes to show its scars: former Jewish ghettos, Holocaust-dedicated Museums, and KGB torture chambers. But Vilnius is more than that: it also has one of the most authentic Old Towns in the World, as well as a 40% coverage by green spaces, cobblestone streets and period architecture that give this city its special character. Vilnius feels more like a big village instead of a capital metropole. Life here has its own rhythm, peppered with a cutting-edge cultural life that surprises every visitor. Discover St. Anne's Church, its 33 different clay bricks and its special combination of Brick and Gothic styles. See the 15th-century Bernardine Church, one of the biggest in Vilnius. Learn about Vilnius University, one of the oldest in Europe and the oldest in the Baltics. Wonder at the Royal Palace of Lithuania, a new copy of the original one built in the 15th century. Have a break at Vilnius Cathedral, the heart of Lithuania's Catholic life Walk on Gediminas Avenue, the main boulevard of Vilnius. The capital of Lithuania will surprise you on every corner.
