The Vilnius Castle Museum was opened in 1960. An observation deck on the top of the tower is the best place from which to appreciate a magnificent panorama of Vilnius.

A must-visit while in Vilnius. Best season to go is late spring. It is a moderately exerting hike up the hill, but the view is absolutely worth it!

Nice mini hike to the tower, you can take the electric cable cart if you feeling lazy. Nice view seeing Vilnius old town from one side and the new town from another.

If you want to visit Vilnius, you should go there, at least for a walk. Take a ticket to visit the museum, interesting for the baltic way !

For the stunning views of Vilnius, it's here, or the TV tower. Although the view from here is more picturesque... Vilnius is full of history. Here, it's more pre-USSR-oriented.

It's a bit of a hike, but you'll be rewarded by the view. 👌 If you don't like hiking up, take the funicular (€1-2)

If you visit the hill at night, you may suddenly find out that gate is locked. Don't know how this problem is resolved in general, but thin persons may squeeze through the bars or carefully climb over

From one side you have the new town of Vilnius and from the other the old town. It is a good point from which to see everything.

After they cut out all the trees on the mountain, this place became a true simbol of this town, if the weather is good give it a try!

The peaceful, anti Soviet-occupation, demonstration known as "the Baltic Way" originated here and continued for 675.5 kms until Tallinn, Estonia.
