Vilnius' Old Town

Vilnius Old Town, the historic core of the Lithuanian capital, stretches along the left bank of the Neris River and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994. Covering 3.59 square kilometers, more than seventy streets invite you to stroll through history, lined by nearly 1,500 buildings. Here you'll discover important sacred sites such as St. Stanislaus Cathedral and St. Anne's Church, as well as historic landmarks like Gediminas Tower and the Gate of Dawn. Cultural institutions, including the university and the philharmonic hall, also shape the character of this lively and architecturally diverse part of the city.
