[2025 Vilnius Attraction] Travel Guide for Three Crosses Monument (Updated May)

After my trip to the three Baltic States, I really liked Lithuania as an off-the-beaten-path destination. Of course, when you come to Lithuania, you have to visit Vilnius. I've summarized a fun guide to the Old Town of Vilnius, and this article is all you need! ▫️ 💛Fun💛 📍Vilnius Cathedral: A very important local church, the interior is Baroque style, but it used to be wooden Gothic. The building is very well-preserved, and the murals and pipe organ inside are exquisite. · 📍Gate of Dawn: The old city gate, also the only one of the original nine gates that is still intact. Walking through the gate, you enter the Old Town of Vilnius. · 📍St. Anne's Church: A small and beautiful brick-red church, with very delicate lines and turrets. It is said that Napoleon wanted to 'move' the entire building to France because of its beauty. · 📍Užupis: Known as 'the land across the river,' this place used to be a gathering spot for hippies, so you can see a passionate and cheerful style from the graffiti and sculptures. · 📍Gediminas' Tower: It is said that Grand Duke Gediminas had a dream about an iron wolf, and then he ordered the construction of this fortress. It's a great spot to overlook the Old Town and take beautiful panoramic photos. · 📍Hill of Three Crosses: Located on the Hill of Three Crosses, the scenery along the way is truly beautiful in autumn. It's also a good spot to view the cityscape, but there are often many young people who come here to hike and run. · 📍Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania: It is now a museum witnessing the history of Lithuania, but many people say that the museum's collection is not very large, and those who don't like to visit exhibitions or museums can take photos outside. ▫️ ❤️Eat❤️ Lithuanian cuisine is still dominated by big fish and meat, and the cooking methods are relatively simple, so for someone with a Sichuan stomach like mine, it's really not acceptable. However, you can buy Southeast Asian spices in many supermarkets here, so if you want something spicy, you can consider that.

Location: Vilnius, Lithuania. The Three Crosses sit on top of a hill in the center of Vilnius ncity, the capital of Lithuania. Getting there: Take a flight to Vilnius airport from most European cities. You can also take a bus from Warsaw or Riga in just a few hours. The sunset view from The Three Crosses is mesmerising...seeing the golden light bounce off the wonderful Baltic architecture surrounded by greenery is amazing. A wonderful city break and the three crosses is a must. #vilnius #lithuania

#2024mapped Being 8hour bus journey away from Warsaw (and 5hr from Riga), Vilnius was rather a difficult destination to decide to go for many travellers.
