Feel The Extraordinary Spirit Of Vilnius
Once in the narrow streets of Vilnius Old Town, you will feel the extraordinary power of Vilnius, as if you were travelling in time.
Since its founding, Vilnius has been known as a city open to the people of various nations and beliefs. The diverse ethnic composition of the city is testified by the street names in the Old Town, such as the Vokiečių Street (Germans’ Street), Žydų Street (Jews’ Street), Totorių Street (Tartars’ Street), Rusų Street (Russians’ Street), as well as by the houses of worship belonging to nine different religions.
Vilnius Old Town is among the largest and loveliest old towns in the Central and Easter Europe: the capital of Lithuania is among the top twenty most attractive must-see cities of the world.
Once in the narrow streets of Vilnius Old Town, you will feel the extraordinary power of Vilnius, as if you were travelling in time: Gediminas Castle overlooks the city from the hill-top; at its base, there is the Cathedral of Vilnius, which has survived several reconstructions. The ancient Dukes of the country rest in the vaults of the Cathedral. And there is a monument to Gediminas, who is considered to be the founder of Vilnius, in the Cathedral Square.
