Main attractions:

Old Town The unique and diverse old town of Vilnius is one of the largest in Central and Eastern Europe. Buildings from various centuries have survived in the Old Town. Therefore, all European styles of architecture are interwinded here. Due to its uniqueness, Vilnius has been reorded onto the List of Cities of UNESCO World Heritage.
Town Hall The first Town Hall was built here already in the 15th century. It included magistracy, a meeting hall, a court, archives and arms. The 17th and 18th century fires have destroyed the Town Hall. In 1786 started the reconstruction works. It took ten years to complete it while the interior decoration works still went on in the begging of the 19th century.
Vilnius Churches As in every medieval city, the churches and monasteries have created the city's unique character while the church towers have created its mood. Being the last pagans in Europe in time Lithuanians became firm Catholics and over time built more than 30 churches in their capital. Just some of them: Cathedral - today the Cathedral is an 18th century, classic style building; St.Anne's Church - the peak of Gothic architecture; St.Francis' and Bernardine Church - one of the biggest gothic sacral buildings in Lithuania; Sts.Peter & Paul's Church - a gem of Vilnius baroque; The Orthodox Church of the Holy Mother of God - the present facades and domes imitate Georgian medieval architecture; St.Casimir's Church and the Jesuit Monastery - one of the earliest, classic Baroque structures in the city; Sts.Johns' Church - which building is extraordinary impressive; The Synagogue - the only one remaining of the one hundred and five synagogues and Jewish temples in Vilnius; St.Theresa's Church and the Discalced Carmelite Cloister - one of the most perfect early Baroque buildings of Vilnius.
Gates of Dawn The Gates of Dawn are one of the symbols of the city of Vilnius. These gates are a famous Catholic shrine not only in the whole of Lithuania but also abroad. This is one of the original five gates of Vilnius built together with the city wall.
President's Palace The Presidential Palace is marvellous attraction and is most famous for hosting Tsar Alexander I first and Napoleon Bonaparte for fleeting periods. This 14th century bishop palace was reconstructed and redecorated by every owner until the 19th century when it became the residence of Russian nobles. Today the palace os decorated with late Classical furniture.
European Centre Only 25 km to the North of Vilnius is the real centre of Europe. The National Institute of Geography of France marked it to be so in 1989. Approximately in 14 km from there is the European Park. The aim of the open air museum is to give a sense to the geographical centre of Europe with the language of art.
