Have you ever been to the Baltic States? Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, is easy to reach from many German airports and delights curious visitors with its rich and exciting history. The largest baroque city north of the Alps has more than 44 churches, idyllic parks and has retained its cosy flair. Situated on the River Neris, it seems tranquil and quiet for a capital city.
Vilnius offers a whole range of sights, especially religious monuments, museums and viewpoints. A great advantage is that most of them can be easily discovered on a walk through this beautiful city: Start your tour in the UNESCO-protected old town or at the cathedral square with its classical cathedral. The Gediminas Tower and the Three Crosses Hill are also nearby. The recently renovated opera house delights opera lovers with its classical repertoire and spacious architecture. Don’t miss the hot chocolate specially composed for the opera café during the breaks.
