2013 VILNIUS Tourism Manual Direct flights to Vilnius Vilnius Tourism Manual 2013 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 fun-loving 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 highminded 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.

Its entire Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site thanks to the city’s abundance of beautifully preserved historic architecture. But Vilnius is also a place of elegant skyscrapers, stateof-the-art business centres and gleaming new sports and entertainment complexes. Few European capitals enjoy such harmony. While the Old Town is an elegant cityscape of red russettiled rooftops and baroque spires, the business district just across the river Neris boasts the most impressive ensemble of modern architecture in the Baltic States. The Lithuanian capital is a cosmopolitan place where one can hear Lithuanian, Russian, Polish, English and many other European languages on the street and in bars and restaurants. Yet, as with its architecture, Vilnius enjoys an amazing degree of harmony in both its cultural and social life. Thanks to the city’s history, the people of Vilnius have inherited a tolerant and laidback attitude. They like a good time, which is why the Old Town is always alive with the sound of music, laughter and animated conversation. It’s this harmonious combination of old and new, tradition and modernity, which makes Vilnius such a remarkable place. Vilnius feels like a small town because its streets are so beautifully spread out, but it is also a modern metropolis. The main shopping and business districts offer free Wi-Fi access so don’t be surprised to see someone checking their email in the shadow of a 17th-century building. A Lithuanian taxi company was the first in Europe to install multimedia consoles in its cars, so you can even surf the web on your way from the airport to the hotel. As you see, Vilnius comes with all possible mod cons. There is no shortage of things to do in Vilnius. From massive shopping centres to charming little boutiques, there is something for even the most insatiable shopoholic. As for the more culturally-minded, there is an enormous array of wonderful art galleries and fascinating specialty museums. Concerts are also hugely popular with musicloving Lithuanians, from big-name pop acts, to top-quality classic performances, to charming folk music recitals, to jovial jazz jams. Vilnius’ nightlife is renowned for its heady blend of relaxed pubs, trendy bars and high-energy night clubs. If sports is more your thing, however, you could take a jet flight, go canoeing or even take a hot air balloon ride over the city. From exploring the hidden courtyards of the Old Town, to dining in one of the city’s numerous top-class restaurants, your only problem will be how to fit so much into your time. Did you know that...? …Airplanes have been known to zoom under bridges in Vilnius. The world-famous pilot Jurgis Kairys made history when he flew upside down under a bridge. On another occasion, he audaciously flew under 10 bridges in a row. ….The French National Institute of Geography has established that the geographical centre of Europe is 24km from Vilnius.

Vilnius Tourism Manual 2013 1.4 Places to visit Czesùaw Miùosz, the Noble Prizewinning 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. Town on one side, and the imposing skyscrapers of the New District on the other. 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. No visit to Vilnius is complete without a visit to the self-declared Republic of Užupis, just across the sparkling river Vilnia, and behind the spectacular red Gothic façade of St. Anne’s Church. Just be sure not to miss the prominently displayed constitution (it’s in Lithuanian, French and English) which states, among other things, that: “Every dog has the right to be a dog.” 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 Other places of special interest include Vilnius University, the Hill of Three Crosses, the Gates of Dawn, the Presidential Palace, the Town Hall, Ponar Memorial, Kalvariijų market, not to mention countless other museums, galleries, churches and statues. Just one thing is certain when it comes to Vilnius: one visit is never enough. 14 General information Cathedral-Basilica, Belfry, Cathedral Square Katedros sq. 1 Tel +370 5 261 07 31 info@katedra.lt; www.katedra.lt The Cathedral of St. Stanislav and St. Vladislav is the most important place of worship for the country‘s Catholics and the venue for the main Christian, folk and national festivities.

Please find more information at the website of the project: www.eurob.org 3.4.2 The Pilgrim Route of Pope John Paul II in Lithuania The aim of the Route is to remind people of the universal foundations for a true and complete life, as stressed by Pope John Paul II during his visit to Lithuania in 1993. In light of this purpose, the route includes not only the sanctuaries which the pope visited in Lithuania, but also other sites of pious renown related to our nation’s cultural and artistic heritage which received the Holy Father’s attention, and other sacred places which attract many pilgrims and tourists. This picturesque driving route connects all the most beautiful sites in Vilnius and its suburbs. Following this circular 80-kilometre route, tourists can visit objects of cultural, historical and architectural heritage located in the centre and suburbs of Vilnius. At the scenic viewpoints established along the route, tourists are able to admire breathtaking panoramas. The route is clearly marked by signs reading “Vaizdingas maršrutas” (“Picturesque Route”), making the route easy to follow in its entirety. You may find information about the various places of interest, scenic viewpoints, accommodation, catering spots, leisure activities, and other information involving this exciting new route in a range of brochures and an audio guide CD (which comes in 5 languages).

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 Užupis, 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. Žvėrynas This attractive residential area is shaped like a triangle and is wellknown 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.

When the Grand Duke Gediminas invited merchants, artisans and Jews and Christians alike to settle in Vilnius in 1323, he laid the foundations for the city’s multi-ethnic diversity, spirit of tolerance and open-mindedness. Ever since then the arts have constantly flourished and the city has a proud tradition of artistic excellence. Vilnius boasts numerous museums and galleries. Its theatres are world-famous, while its musicians and orchestras are also internationally distinguished. Not a day goes by in Vilnius without some major festival, cultural event or concert taking place. 48 www.vilnius-tourism.lt Arts and Culture 6.1 Museums in Vilnius www.muziejai.lt This comprehensive website covers all museums in Lithuania.

It is built on a narrow peninsula dividing lakes Galvė, Lake Totoriškiai and Luka. These lakes form part of an interconnected group which consists of at least 30 large and small lakes. Trakai itself is a genuinely archaic town on water. It’s also a beautiful place for leisure and relaxation. During the 13th century Trakai and its neighbouring environs was the administrative centre of the country. According to the chronicles, Duke Gediminas decided to build a castle there after a successful hunt and the capital 54 www.vilnius-tourism.lt Arts and Culture was moved from Kernavė. The town was first mentioned in a German text in 1377. Settlements quickly began to develop around the newly built castle and by the time Vytautas the Great became the ruler of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Trakai was established as the country’s political and administrative centre and soon after that it gained its town rights.

The castle contains a historically-themed museum and regularly hosts concerts and theatre festivals. Trakai is also of special interest because 30 Karaim families live there. The families represent a Turkish ethnic group whose ancestors were invited to Lithuania by Vytautas, the Grand Duke of Lithuania in the 14th century. The Karaims guarded the castle of the Grand Duke and were also the personal bodyguards of Vytautas himself. Their small community has preserved their religion, culture and customs right up to the present day. The Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary Sodų str. 8, LT–21106 Trakai This parish church was built in 1409 under the rule of Vytautas the Great. The main altar of the church contains an image of the Virgin Mary and is said to have been a place of miracles. There has been a festival dedicated to the Virgin Mary ever since 1603 which is attended by huge crowds of people who come from all around the country.

Tel +370 382 47385, Fax +370 382 47391 muziejus@kernave.org www.kernave.org Kernavė, which is situated close to Vilnius, was the first capital of Lithuania. The first settlement in the area appeared as early as 9000B.C when it is believed the settlers came to the river Nėris from what is now Kaunas in the southwest. Hunters, gatherers and fisherman gathered in temporary encampments along the river. The museum shows the history of Kernavė from prehistoric times through to the 18th century. There is a chronological display of historic artefacts from the Stone Age, the Iron Age and the early Middle Ages, as well as a map of the archaeological reservation and photos of archaeological digs, among many other interesting items. Every year on July 6 (the anniversary of the coronation of King Mindaugas) the Kernavė Cultural Reserve hosts an international festival of archaeology. 6.6.5 Sudervė Stone sculpture park “Vilnoja” Zdziechovskio str. 27, Sudervė, Vilniaus raj. info@stoneart.lt, www.stoneart.lt The Stone Sculpture Park in the grounds of the hotel Vilnoja was established in 2001 when eight famous Lithuanian sculptors joined together and created the first strikingly original works.

Now these tired old sculptures have a new home in Grūtas Park, along with numerous Soviet soldiers, kolkhozniks and other members of the proletariat. Their picturesque forest home is near the Lithuanian spa resort of Druskininkai and is surely the most impressive ensemble of Soviet sculpture in the world.
