2012 VILNIUS Tourism Manual Take a direct flight to Vilnius VILNIUS Tourism Manual A Word of Welcome Vilnius is truly a city unlike any other. Once experienced, its unique charm and beauty can never be forgotten. Countless people have fallen in love with it over the years, but no one can fully capture its magical essence in words, not even poets or guidebook writers. The best way to get to know Vilnius is to stroll around it at leisure and experience it in all its sensual glory. Enjoy a coffee at any one of the numerous outdoor café tables and see how serene the locals look as they go about their daily lives. Dine out at one of the city’s many excellent restaurants and marvel at the excellence and diversity of the culinary scene. Enjoy a night out on the town and revel in the goodwill and openness of Vilnius’s funloving population. Vilnius is a superb example of how history and modernity can harmoniously coexist. The Old Town and surrounding city centre are a perfectly preserved mosaic of historic architectural styles, while just across the peacefully flowing River Neris a sleek new skyline testifies to Vilnius’s dynamic entrepreneurial spirit. Perhaps it’s because of Lithuania’s official status as the geographical centre of Europe, but few European capitals are as at ease with themselves as Vilnius. It’s a quintessentially European city which abounds with picturesque streets and spectacular churches. It teems with wonderful museums and art galleries. It pulsates with cutting-edge cultural events and nightlife. It has something for everyone, from old-fashioned romantics to discerning businessmen, from party-loving hedonists to high-minded culture buffs. And if you manage to tear your gaze away from the abundance of beautiful buildings and beguiling shop window displays, you will also notice how the entire city is ringed by vast stretches of lush green foliage. Vilnius is a delightfully green city that boasts many beautiful parks and countless quaint, treelined streets. It’s quite simply the perfect city for a meandering walk or a leisurely bike ride. Vilnius has a proud historical heritage which is there for ever-growing numbers of visitors to enjoy.

The city’s extraordinary appearance of historic continuity is all the more amazing when you consider its turbulent history. But Vilnius is now back where it rightly belongs – at the heart of Europe – and this most quintessentially European of cities has quickly gained a reputation as being a most charming, delightful and – it has to be said – magical place. Come and see for yourself! 10 Vilnius – beauty, mystery and magic www.vilnius-tourism.lt Southern architecture under the Northern Sky Czesùaw Miùosz, the Noble Prize-winning Polish author, once said of Vilnius: “Narrow cobblestone streets and an orgy of Baroque: almost like a Jesuit city somewhere in the middle of Latin America.” Vilnius is unique for being both the northernmost Baroque city in the world and for having one of the largest historic centres in Eastern Europe. It was rightfully declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 which enabled a much-needed programme of renovation to take place so that the city could be fully restored to its former glory. It is little wonder that Vilnius has become such a popular tourist destination in recent years for the simple reason that few people can resist its magical charms. Large enough to explore for weeks on end, but small enough not to get permanently lost in, Vilnius is an architectural dream come true, a city soaked in atmosphere, and alive with history. Vilnius’s skyline is an elegant timeline of gables and spires, domes and belfries. Its mazy cobblestone streets and alleyways contain countless hidden, picturesque courtyards whose residents surely count their blessings every day as they gaze out of their windows. But despite its reputation as a Baroque city, Vilnius is rich in other architectural forms. There are some stunning examples of classicism, eclecticism, brick gothic and art nouveau in the city centre, especially along the showcase Gedimino Avenue. The city abounds with quirky architectural flourishes, from mysterious masks to mischievous gargoyles. Quite simply, you just can’t take your eyes off the place! Most of the buildings in Vilnius date from the periods immediately after the great fires of 1610, 1737, 1748 and 1749, when the city’s wooden buildings were done away with. Amazingly, however, the Old Town’s street structure is virtually unchanged since medieval times. The best way to see Vilnius is on foot (just follow the cobblestone road). But the city is also a dream for cyclists with clearly-marked cycle lanes covering virtually the entire city centre, and bringing all the city’s sights within easy reach. There is, of course, much more to Vilnius than the Old Town. The city centre is filled with beautiful parks, and majestic buildings standing proudly atop steep, hilly streets. It’s also a delight to walk along the banks of the river Neris as it serenely snakes its way through the city centre. The riverside path offers spectacular views of the Old Town on one side, and the imposing skyscrapers of the New District on the other. No visit to Vilnius is complete without a visit to the self-declared Republic of Uþupis, just across the sparkling river Vilnia, and behind the spectacular red Gothic façade of St. Anne’s Church.

Thankfully, things haven’t changed. The skyline is a breathtaking spectrum of spires, domes and crosses and no trip to Vilnius would be complete without a visit to some of the city’s many extraordinary churches. The most famous church is the centrally located Cathedra Basillica. Originally built on the site of a pagan temple in the 13th century, the structure dates in its current form to the late 18th century and is a stunning example of classical architecture. St. Anne’s, which dates back to the 16th century, is one of Vilnius’ best-loved churches. It’s a superb example of Gothic architecture which used thirty three different types of brick in its construction. According to legend, Napoleon Bonaparte was so smitten by the beauty of the building that he vowed to take The Cathedral Katedros a. 1 Tel +370 5 261 1127 Fax +370 5 261 0731 info@katedra.lt www.katedra.lt The Church of St Anne Maironio g. 8 it to Paris in the palm of his hand. The most spectacular church interior, however, surely belongs to Sts. Peter and Paul. Supposedly built on the site of Milda, the Lithuanian pagan goddess of love, the church was commissioned by Michael Casimir Pac, Grand Hetman of the Lithuanian army, in 1668. The stunning vaulted ceiling and dome teems with some 2,000 beautifully crafted stucco figures representing great mythological, biblical and battle scenes. Of course, not all places of worship of Catholic, or Gothic, Baroque or classical in style. There is the synagogue on Pylimo St. the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Old Town, as well as a host of beautiful Russian Orthodox churches, the most impressive of which is St. Michael. This jewel of a church combines Baroque, Gothic and Byzantine influences to spectacular effect. For those who love churches and church architecture, Vilnius is a treasure trove of delights.

Outside Vilnius The territory outside the city; not marked on the scheme. 1. Old Town The very heart of the city. Pedestrian streets, antique shops, many restaurants and hotels are situated here. Accommodation options vary from the cheapest students’ style lodgings to the best rated international chain hotels. This zone also includes Uþupis, known as Vilnius Monmartre. 2. Upper midtown This area is spread out over both sides of the river Neris and is bordered by two major business areas. Gedimino prospektas is a prestigious retail street and the skyscrapers of Konstitucijos prospektas form the new heart of the city’s business district. 3. Lower midtown Previously a residential area, the Lower Midtown includes a business district, residential flats and Vingis Park, a popular place with morning joggers and venue for all sorts of major concerts. 4. Þvërynas This attractive residential area is shaped like a triangle and is well-known for its tranquil atmosphere and attractive houses. This prestigious district has several hotels and family-run guest houses. 5. Station district After the renovation of the central station, this area has changed dramatically and some excellent hotels now operate in the vicinity. It’s conveniently close to both the main train and bus stations. 6. Airport This is a good option for those only visiting Vilnius very briefly. The surroundings are pleasant, the city centre close by and there are several good hotels and restaurants. 7. Antakalnis This suburb is relatively close to the city centre and is surrounded by forests and the river Neris but it only has a few accommodation options. 8. Residential area Built during the Soviet era and filled with characteristic block architecture, this vast suburban area nonetheless boasts several hotels ranging from economy to high end. 9. Rasos and Naujininkai This area mainly consists of large apartment blocks and industrial premises. There are some small new hotels and decent restaurants in the vicinity. 10. Industrial district There is one hotel, a few cafes and private rooms for rent in this somewhat out-of-the-way location.

Their small community has preserved their religion, culture and customs right up to the present day.

One of the most important peculiarities of the park is the quite large differences of relative heights (up to 100 m) and the incomparable variety of their forms. The most attractive feature of Pavilniai Park is suroundings of Pûèkoriai. The unique geological site – the Pûèkoriai rock exposure – is located here. This is one of the highest and most impressive rock exposures from the glacial Èpoque not only in the Vilnia river valley but also in the entire Lithuania. The rock exposures measure approximately 65 m in height, and 260 m in width. One can enjoy the panorama of Vilnia valley from the top of the rock. New pedestrian path leads to the remains of Pûèkoriai cannon foundry and a water mill complex, where the complex of restaurants and cafes Belmontas is located. Another part of the park – the Markuèiai reserve – presents cultural and natural values. There you will find a wooden house, the former dwelling house of the estate, now hosting the museum of Alexander Pushkin, also a park with ponds, a family graveyard and a Barbora chapel. Park’s hills covered with old oaks forest render its originality, whereas two ponds add liveliness.

Verkiai Regional Park Verkiai Regional Park consists of two quite different parts of the landscape: the southern, where the values of cultural heritage dominate, and the northern, where the values of the natural landscape are the most important. The most valuable combinations of the natural landscape are the system of long, deep ravines of the Green lakes and the valley of the unique two-way Rieðë– Turniðkës rivulet which flows in the old dry valley. The most important values of the cultural heritage of Verkiai regional park are the unique complex of Verkiai palace and the Vilnius Kalvarijos (Stations of the Cross). Architectural complex of Verkiai palace which is properly fit into the natural environment with a nice park and the system of ponds is one of the most valuable classicist complexes in Lithuania. The park of Verkiai estate farmstead is one of the most beautiful landscape-type parks in the country. The complex of Kalvarijos–Trinapolis sacral objects came into being in the 17th century. Vilnius Kalvarijos consist of 35 station: 19 brick chapels, 7 wooden gates, 1 brick gate, a wooden bridge – the chapel on the Cedronas (Baltupys) river and the Church of the Invention of the Cross (Kalvarijø). During the soviet time the object was destroyed and now restored again.
