Vilnius is the least known of the Baltic capitals, which we hope will change Vilnius is European Capital of Culture. It's easy to walk around Vilnius taking in the many different sights and visiting the places of interest.
Vilnius' most recognisable landmark is its Cathedral. Standing in a large square this magnificent and imposing building is a stunning construction. Other city highlights include the Higher Castle Museum, now a small tower situated on a small steep hill just behind the Cathedral; this was once an important vantage point, and is a great place to enjoy lovely views of the city.
Pilies Street, is a lovely cobbled street, with many good restaurants and quirky shops selling. Amber the Baltic's gold. At the top of Pilies Street are The Gates of Dawn, a small chapel, many pilgrims travel here from all over the region, as in this chapel is an image of the Virgin Mary reputed for its miracle working powers.
Vilnius is full of churches. One of our favourites is St Anne's Church - it has survived almost unchanged since 1495 and is a delicately beautiful red brick Gothic church, Napoleon said, when marching past, that he wished to take it home in the palm of his hand.
Vilnius is packed with museums including the sobering KGB museum telling the story of Lithuania's struggle under Soviet rule.
Vilnius has many excellent restaurants and a wonderful opera house.

"Thank you for organising a wonderful holiday with such attention to detail.
We loved the ballet and all the traditionally Lithuanian restaurants you recommended were excellent. Vilnius was stunningly beautiful in the snow, but the most magical part of all for us was visiting Trakai Castle with our excellent guide, walking on the frozen lake in the snow and taking in the beauty all around us" Martin and Ann Woodham, London, February 2006
"Vilnius is a beautiful place, especially the churches lit up at night and the cellar bars and restaurants. Definitely recommend it. All the arrangements went very smoothly as well - couldn't fault anything."
Caroline White March 2003
"We both thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Vilnius.... and your two guides were superb....The visit to Trakai also proved very interesting, Linus again has a huge store of knowledge about his history and was excellent company."
Wendy Astill October 2006
"We had a great time in Vilnius - lots of snow, so it looked really pretty.
We have already recommended Vilnius (and your company) to a number of family and friends and plan to return to see more of the country sometime in the future. Thanks for all your help- you made the whole booking procedure and holiday go extremely smoothly."
Kathryn Chamberlain February 2005
Vilnius was outstanding. As good as L'viv in Western Ukraine (although different) - and that's high praise in my book! Very satisfied by your friendly, helpful & efficient service. I would certainly recommend your service without any reservations. Thankyou! Martin & Annette Brunby June 2007.
"Vilnius is delightful and charming. Eating out was a joy, with very good food at very good value prices. It also felt very safe. Not sure how I managed to avoid spending a fortune in the amber jewellery shops, though! " Sue Wood July 2003
