Serenade of the Square: Watching Life Unfold
Vilnius Cathedral, situated in Lithuania's capital city, has a rich history that dates back to the 14th century. Originally constructed as a Gothic-style church, it underwent several reconstructions and additions over the centuries, resulting in its Baroque appearance today. The cathedral has played a significant role in Lithuanian history, hosting coronations, funerals, and various religious ceremonies. It remains an iconic symbol of cultural and religious heritage in Vilnius.
Amidst Vilnius Cathedral's timeless grace,
I find a seat, a peaceful space,
Bathed in the warmth of the afternoon sun,
Watching life's symphony, moments spun.
People pass by, their stories unfold,
In this vibrant square, hearts are consoled,
Laughter and chatter, a lively dance,
I savor each moment, this charming trance.

I don't believe anyone has been to 🇱🇹, this small and beautiful country by the Baltic Sea.
During my previous trip to the three Baltic countries, I really enjoyed Lithuania as a niche destination. When visiting Lithuania, of course, you have to go to Vilnius. I have summarized a guide to the attractions in the old town of Vilnius. Just read this article and you'll have enough information!

📍Vilnius Cathedral:
The local church is very important, with a Baroque-style interior that was once a wooden Gothic style. The building is well-preserved, and the murals and organ inside are also exquisite.
·
📍Dawn Gate:
The city gate of the old town, which is also the only well-preserved gate among the nine gates that once existed, leads you into the old town of Vilnius once you step inside.
·
📍St. Anne's Church:
A small and beautiful brick-red church, with delicate lines and corner towers. It is said that Napoleon once wanted to "move" the entire building back to France because of its beauty.
·
📍Uzupis:
Known as the "land across the river", this place used to be a gathering place for hippies, so the enthusiasm and cheerful style can be seen from graffiti, sculptures, etc.
·
📍Gediminas Tower:
It is said that Grand Duke Gediminas had a dream of a steel wolf here, and then ordered the construction of this fortress. It is a great place to overlook the old city and take panoramic photos.
·
📍Thirty Cross Sculpture:
Located on the Thirty Cross Mountain, the scenery along the way is beautiful in autumn. It is also suitable for overlooking the cityscape, but there are more young people who come here for hiking and running.
·
📍Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania:
Currently, it is a museum that witnesses the history of Lithuania, but many people say that the collection in the museum is not abundant. For those who do not like to visit museums, they can take photos outside.

💚Transportation💚
It is recommended to take a taxi or walk in the Vilnius city center. The old town is very small and most attractions can be reached on foot. If you want to take a taxi, note that Uber is not used locally. The Baltic States (Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia) all use Bolt for taxi services.

❤️Eat❤️
Lithuanian cuisine is mainly based on large fish and meat, and the cooking methods are relatively simple, so it is unacceptable for someone like me with a Sichuan stomach. However, many supermarkets here sell Southeast Asian seasonings, so those who want to eat spicy food can consider it.

The imposing Vilnius Cathedral is the most charming religious centre in this small Eastern European town and the most romantic landmark in the city. A clean white appearance, six huge stone pillars stand in front of the main hall. Right in front of the church, there is also a tall white tower, above the black tower, a cross stands upright.
Walk by the Vilnius Old Town, it takes only a few minutes to reach the Church Square. Vilnius Cathedral is located in the heart of the entire square. This imposing cathedral, the most fascinating exterior, is the three statues on the front. The goddess of Santa Ana in the middle holds the sacred cross. On the left side of St. Stanislav and the right side of San Casilas, overlooking the church, you can see three majestic statues, and feel the power of divine greatness.
This church is also one of the oldest churches in Vilnius. As early as 800 years ago, a wooden church was built here. Later it was converted into a more spectacular Gothic church. However, the church was unfortunately destroyed by the war. Today's church is where people built the imposing Baroque church today.
This great church, conservative and hardship, has been rebuilt and finally ushered in today's glory and prosperity. Walking into the interior of the church, it is extremely magnificent, showing many ancient watercolor murals, which are very magnificent.
This is not only the central place for people's religious activities, but also the beautiful wishes of the people. After many hardships, we will welcome the beautiful life today. The Vilnius people know how to cherish.
