Vilnius | Classic Walking Route: Gediminas Tower + St. Anne's Church Famous for its Renaissance and Gothic architecture, Vilnius is a rare Eastern European city with a fairytale atmosphere. This easy walking route takes in two iconic landmarks: Gediminas Tower and St. Anne's Church. They're located a short distance from each other, allowing visitors to admire the architectural details along the way, creating a sense of walking through the old town. This route is perfect for first-time visitors to Vilnius or those interested in photography or architecture. 🌟Gediminas' Tower Address: Arsenalo g.1, Vilnius, 01143 Vilniaus m. sav., Lithuania Opening Hours: 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM year-round Recommended: The tower, located atop a hill, is part of the ruins of Vilnius Castle. From the top, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the city. The most spectacular view is at sunset, when the red brick tower stands against the rooftops of Vilnius' old town, creating a truly romantic scene. Inside the tower, there's a small exhibition introducing Lithuanian history. 📸Must-see spots: 1. The tower's exterior, set against a blue sky, has become a popular photo spot lately. 2. The view from the top of the tower captures the intertwined views of the old town and the river. 3. The hiking trail, with cobblestone paths shaded by trees, evokes a sense of simple life. Tips: - Allow about an hour for viewing and taking photos. The evening is less crowded and offers a more pleasant atmosphere. - The tower's top can be windy, so bring a jacket. - The hill is not too steep, so the hike up isn't too strenuous, but comfortable shoes will make it more enjoyable. 🌟St. Anne's Church Address: Maironio g. 8, Vilnius 01124, Lithuania Opening Hours: 4:30 PM - 7:00 PM year-round (Sunday 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM; Tuesday-Friday 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM; Saturday 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM) Recommended: The church's exterior, known for its red brick spire and intricate carvings, is considered the most beautiful Gothic church in Eastern Europe, even praised by Napoleon. The most striking thing is the sunlight filtering through the main entrance, revealing the layered red walls and intricate details, making any photo of it stunning. While the interior is small, it's full of artistic charm, perfect for quiet enjoyment. 📸Must-see spots: 1. The main entrance archway. Lower your camera to capture the striking architectural lines. 2. The side view of the church at sunset, where the red bricks become even more vibrant. 3. The fine stone columns and ceilings inside are so detailed that even a phone can capture the fine lines. Tips: - It's recommended to visit during opening hours; on holidays, the atmosphere is bustling despite the crowds. - Please be as quiet as possible during your visit and respect religious sites. - There are many cafes nearby where you can rest and recharge your phone. 🔗Walking Route: It's recommended to start at Gediminas Tower. After the visit, walk down the slope, passing through the main streets of the old town, and reach St. Anna's Church in about 20 minutes. You'll see many classical European buildings along the way, which is a pleasant experience to admire while walking slowly. Notes: The entire route is almost entirely on foot, and the attractions are all iconic examples of Vilnius. It's suitable for a half-day to full-day trip. It's recommended to bring a camera or a fully charged phone; there are many beautiful sights to discover along the way. #VilniusArchitecture #EasternEuropeTravel #RenaissanceCheck-In #GediminasTower #St.AnnaChurch
