Vilnius tourism: Exploring Lithuania’s capital in 24 hours
Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, is seeing increased interest from travelers following the rise of ‘coolcations’ in the Baltic region. The city features a UNESCO-listed baroque Old Town, a growing culinary scene, and various museums.
Key landmarks include Gediminas Tower, located on Gediminas Hill, which serves as a symbol of the city. The tower houses the ‘Frequency of Freedom’ exhibition and marks significant historical moments, such as the first hoisting of the Lithuanian tricolour in 1919 and its return during the 1988 independence movement. Visitors can view the city from the tower rooftop or via hot air balloon rides during warmer months. Other notable sites include the Vilnius Cathedral and its bell tower.
