This hill likes crosses – the first was built in the 17th century to commemorate monks martyred in the 14th century. Today, three giant crosses built in 1989 to replace the ones that were destroyed under Soviet rule, sit at the top of the hill. It's a great place to enjoy a view of the city.

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!

If you're coming to Vilnius from any of the neighboring countries, Our Lady of the Gates of Dawn is probably the main reason for your visit.
Once you 'enter the city' by passing through the gates, you'll notice throngs of tourists and pilgrims alike. Turn around. Look up. Yes, that's the miraculous painting in the window above the gate.

This one’s a bit of a shocker as you wouldn’t expect to find one of Lithuania’s toughest prisons so close to Parliament right in the heart of the city. It looks more like a cathedral than a jailhouse, though the barbed wire and conspicuously high walls give it away.
