You'll have to do some climbing but the view is definitely worth the effort. Otherwise you can take the elevator for a couple of Litas. There's a small museum at the top of the tower with exhibits related to local history. If you purchase the museum ticket (LTL 5), you'll have access to the observation deck for an even better view of the city!

The "breakaway” Republic of Užupis takes pride in its artists who make up the bulk of its population. In the house where the idea of independence was born 20 years ago you’ll find a gallery featuring artworks by the separatists.

It's a very important building for all of us, and it's freshly opened after year of renovation. It's not the old dark library anymore - now the National Library is much more open, inviting to read, work in their spaces. Plus they have plenty of events, concerts or any kind of events almost every week.

The best place and an interactive way how to explore the ancient Baltic culture by actually doing it! Lithuanian folk songs and stories about Lithuania's history during the Viking times will give a deeper taste of this culture than just a guide in the city ;)

Used both by Nazis and Soviets for planning their atrocities against Lithuanian citizens, this place certainly resonates with the locals. It was also once a prison and many political prisoners met their end here. Today it's a dark reminder of the terrors of Totalitarianism.

We could say that the Planetarium is the only specialised information centre for astronomy in the Baltic states, or that it frequently hosts social meetings with scientists and gala events for various companies, but we know why you’re reading this – the star dome!

You wouldn't typically expect to see a blacksmith workshop in the middle of a modern city. In downtown Vilnius however you are able to watch iron being shaped into things like jewellery, candlestick holders, horseshoes etc. It's a great way to familiarise yourself with the old art and there's also a souvenir shop.

It is nothing like usual traditional boring art galleries. Even though its permanent exhibition contains historical Lithuanian art, especially a lot of modern artwork, with its luminous and spacious areas and minimal exterior it feels like being in a contemporary art venue. All that synthesis of old and new creates whole new point of view to art.
