V i l n i u sTourism Manual

Vilnius is truly a city unlike any other. Once expe-rienced, 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 mo-dernity 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 entrepre-neurial spirit.

Perhaps it’s because of Lithuania’s official status as the geographical centre of Europe, but few Eu-

ropean 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 every-one, 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, tree-lined 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 Vilnius Tourism Manual contains everything you need to know to make your stay as pleasurable, con-venient and safe as possible. You may find it difficult to put Vilnius into words, but that’s love for you.

Come and see for yourself!

1.3 History

Years ago7th – 2nd century BC – The first Baltic tribes establish themselves on the territory of present-day Lithuania.

1009 – Lithuania is first mentioned in a written text when the Kvedlin-burgh Chronicle states that Arch-bishop Brunonus was hit over the head by pagans in Lituae and went to heaven.

1236 – Duke Mindaugas unites local chieftains to defeat the Livo-nian knights at the Battle of Saulė, thereby establishing the state of Lithuania.

1495 – The first goldsmith and sew-ing craft guilds are established. Vilnius flourishes as a major East-ern European trading and cultural centre.

1522 – Pranciškus Skoryna estab-

lishes the first printing house in Vilnius. The city becomes one of the great book printing centres of Europe. Vilnius also flourishes as a city of merchants and craftsmen.

And nowVilnius is a fascinating mix of tradi-tion and innovation. Its entire Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site thanks to the city’s abun-dance of beautifully preserved historic architecture. But Vilnius is also a place of elegant skyscrap-ers, state-of-the-art business cen-tres and gleaming new sports and entertainment complexes.

Few European capitals enjoy such harmony. While the Old Town is an elegant cityscape of red russet-tiled 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 cos-mopolitan 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 mo-dernity, which makes Vilnius such a remarkable place.

Vilnius feels like a small town be-cause 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. For culturally-mind-ed people there is enormous ar-ray of wonderful art galleries and fascinating speciality museums. Concerts are also hugely popular with music-loving Lithuanians, from big-name pop acts, to top-quality classic performances, to charming folk music recitals, to jovial jazz jams.

There is something even for the most insatiable shopaholic – from massive shopping centres to charming little boutiques.

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 court-yards 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.

Nowadays the Gothic, Renaissance and Early Baroque halls of this multifunctional Museum are ideally applicable to organize a different size and content public events, official visits, con-ferences, meetings, seminars, concerts, performances, receptions and other.

Pilies StreetPilies Street is the oldest and most flam-boyant street in the Old Town of Vilnius. Kings, legates of the Pope, and envoys from other countries passed this street on their way to the castle.

Gediminas avenueVilnius started developing faster in the middle of the 19th century, when the rail line St. Petersburg – Vilnius was built. A new central street of the city, Georgij Avenue was built.

Literatai StreetLiteratų str.www.literatugatve.ltFrom 2008 a group of artists had an idea to revive the street and to decorate it with artworks related with litterateurs.

Road of freedomKonstitucijos ave.www.laisveskelias.lt“The Road of Freedom” is a sculpture com-memorating the twentieth anniversary of the restoration of the State of Lithuania and invites all residents of the country and patriots of Lithuania to continue along the path of freedom and solidarity.

Rasos Cemetery Rasų str. 32Tel +370 5 2656563Rasos cemetery is the oldest in the city of Vilnius, founded in 1801. Later, columbaria and neo-gothic chapel (arch. T.Tišeckis) were built in the cemetery.

Monument of Frank ZappaKalinausko str. 1 This monument is dedicated to eminent American composer, guitarist and singer Frank Zappa (sculptor Konstantinas Bog-danas). This performer, distinguished for the peculiar style of his creative work, is referred to as the father of modern music. Frank Zappa’s music is characterised by its psychedelic style and elements of parody, which combine rock, jazz, avant-garde and electronic music.

Church of St Michael the ArchangelŠv. Mykolo str. 9Tel +370 5 269 7803, +370 5 269 [email protected] Church of St Michael was built by the Chancellor of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania Leonas Sapiega between 1594 and 1597 for a convent of Bernardine nuns, and also to serve as a family mausoleum. Its construc-tion work was completed in about 1604.

Church of St Casimir and the Jesuit MonasteryDidžioji str. 34Tel +370 5 212 1715www.kazimiero.ltThe Church was built by the Jesuits: work began on it in 1604, just two years after St Casimir had been canonised. The Church of St Casimir is one of the first Baroque churches in Vilnius.

Ortodox Church of St ParasceveDidžioji str. 2At the end of the 16th century a masonry church was built to replace the wooden one which had burnt down. In 1611 the church and the alms-house devolved to the Uniates–Orthodox Catholics recognising the supremacy of the Pope; unfortunately they did not take care of the buildings. His-torical sources inform us that the church was transformed into a tavern, and the alms-house turned into a brothel. The restored sanctuary was given a special honour in the 18th century by Czar Peter I, who during his visit presented a gift of the colours taken from the Swedes in the Great Northern War. A legend spread that it was here the Czar himself christened an ancestor of the poet Alexander Pushkin — Hannibal of African origin (the marble board). In 1864 the decrepit church was rebuilt in the Neobyzantine style (by ar-chitect Nikolai Chagin).

Synagogue Pylimo str. 39 Tel +370 5 2612523The synagogue (by architect Dovydas Rozenhauzas) was opened in September 1903, on the Jewish New Year.

This is the only Jewish house of worship that survived after World War II in Vilnius. Several can-tors who are famous all over the world were born in Vilnius. Prayers are held in the Synagogue every day according to the misnagdim tradition.

Vilnius is easy to get to, however you decide to travel there. The Vilnius International Airport is situated a mere 7 km from the city centre. The port city of Klaipeda is well-served by ferry, and has excellent rail and bus connections with Vilnius. Distances between places are generally small in Lithuania, and it is relatively quick and straightfor-ward to travel around by car, especially between major towns and cities. The roads in Lithuania are the best in the Baltic States and are all toll-free. Vilnius is also a very convenient city to get around thanks in part to its highly-developed public transport system. Most of the main attractions are concentrated in the city centre and are within close proximity of nearly all the major hotels.

4.2 City zones0. Outside VilniusThe territory outside the city; not marked on the scheme.

1. Old TownThe very heart of the city. Pedestrian streets, antique shops, many restau-rants and hotels are situated here. Accommodation options vary from the cheapest students’ style lodg-ings to the best rated international chain hotels. This zone also includes Užupis, known as Vilnius Monmartre.

2. Upper midtownThis area is spread out over both sides of the river Neris and is bor-dered 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 midtownPreviously 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. ŽvėrynasThis attractive residential area is shaped like a triangle and is well-known for its tranquil atmosphere and attractive houses. This prestig-ious district has several hotels and family-run guest houses.

5. Station districtAfter the renovation of the central station, this area has changed dra-matically and some excellent hotels now operate in the vicinity. It’s con-veniently close to both the main train and bus stations.

6. AirportThis is a good option for those only visiting Vilnius very briefly. The sur-roundings are pleasant, the city centre close by and there are several good hotels and restaurants.

7. AntakalnisThis 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 areaBuilt during the Soviet era and filled with characteristic block architec-ture, this vast suburban area none-theless boasts several hotels ranging from economy to high end.

9. Rasos and NaujininkaiThis area mainly consists of large apartment blocks and industrial premises. There are some small new hotels and decent restaurants in the vicinity.

10. Industrial districtThere is one hotel, a few cafes and private rooms for rent in this some-what out-of-the-way location.

4.1 Hotel classifica-tion system The following list of hotels is or-

ganized by a European Hotelstars

Union system from five star supe-

rior to one star. Guest houses are

not rated by stars.

The European Hotelstars Union

system is based on the earlier

German hotelstars system that

had widely influenced the hotel

classifications in central Europe,

with five stars and a Superior

mark to flag extras. Instead of a

strict minimum in room size and

required shower facilities there

is a catalogue of criteria with

21 qualifications encompassing

270 elements, where some are

mandatory for a star and others

optional. The main criteria are in

quality management, wellness

and sleeping accommodation.

In the catalogue of criteria each

entry is associated with a number

of points - each Hotelstars level

requires a minimal sum of points

besides some criteria being oblig-

atory for the level. The minimum

requirement for the Superior flag

requires the same sum of points

as for the next Hotelstars level

which however was not awarded

due to at least one obligatory re-

quirement being left out.

Art and culture has always been an integral part of life in Vilnius. When the Grand Duke Gediminas invited merchants, artisans and Jews and Chris-tians 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 ex-cellence. 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.

Tel +370 5 200 1646 In 1989 the National Geographic Institute of France pinpointed the centre of Eu-rope to a spot 26km away from Vilnius, in the direction of Molėtai, near the village of Purnuškės. Touch the memorial spot in the centre of the continent and then visit the Tourism Information Centre to get a personal certificate verifying that you have been to the Centre of Europe!

The open air territory is open 24 hours a day and admission is free. The museum is open from Monday to Friday from 9a.m. to 6p.m.

(19 km north from Vilnius, driving Verkiai road)Tel +370 5 237 7070, Fax +370 5 237 7077 [email protected] www.europosparkas.ltThe park was established in 1991 with the aim of embellishing the geographical centre of Europe with works of art. The park covers an area of 55 hectares and contains more than 100 sculptures by art-ists from more than 70 countries. Among them are works by famous contemporary artists such as S. LeWitt, M. Abakanowicz and D. Oppenheim. Each year new sculp-tures are installed in the park by artists from a range of backgrounds. The park is an immensely popular place for a cultural pilgrimage and attracts over 60,000 visi-tors a year.

6.6.3 TrakaiTrakai is a small town in southeast Lithu-ania which is situated 27km from Vilnius. It is built on a narrow peninsula dividing lakes Galvė, Lake Totoriškiai and Luka. These lakes form part of an intercon-nected 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, Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas decided to build a castle there after a successful hunt. The capital was moved from Kernavė to Trakai. 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.

www.trakaimuziejus.ltTrakai Castle was built in the 14th cen-tury and is the only castle island in all of Eastern Europe. The castle contains a historically-themed museum and regu-larly 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 pre-served their religion, culture and customs right up to the present day.

The Church of the Visitation of the Virgin MarySodų str. 8, LT–21106 TrakaiThis 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.

Karaims’ Settlement Karaims’ Ethnographical exhibitionKaraimų str. 22, TrakaiTel +370 528 55286One of the most famous sights in Trakai is Karaimų st. because its old buildings bear witness to the extraordinary his-tory of the aforementioned Karaims. The Karaims built their houses with three windows facing the street, each one of which served a specific purpose: one was for Duke Vytautas, one was for God and one was for the Karaim himself.

Kernavė – UNESCO World Heritage SightKernavė, which is situated close to Vil-nius, 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. Hunt-ers, 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 chronologi-cal display of historic artefacts from the Stone Age, the Iron Age and the early Middle Ages, as well as a map of the ar-chaeological 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 SudervėStone sculpture park “Vilnoja”M. Zdziechovskio str. 27, Sudervė, Vilniaus raj. Tel +370 687 [email protected], www.stoneart.ltThe Stone Sculpture Park in the grounds of the hotel Vilnoja was established in 2001 when eight famous Lithuanian sculp-tors joined together and created the first strikingly original works. Lithuania has an outstanding tradition of sculpture which is amply demonstrated by these humor-ous, mysterious and thought-provoking pieces of art. International stone sculp-ture symposiums take place in the park every summer, while a photo gallery of the sculptures is available on the park’s website.

6.6.6 DruskininkaiGrūtas ParkGrūto k., DruskininkaiTel/Fax +370 313 55511 [email protected], www.grutoparkas.ltStatues of Lenin, Stalin and Dzerzhin-sky once stood proudly in town hall squares, parks and in front of train sta-tions throughout Lithuania. 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 impres-sive ensemble of Soviet sculpture in the world. It’s a fascinating experience and valuable historic record of how the Soviet authorities used sculpture as propaganda.

6.6.7 RumšiškėsThe village of Rumšiškės is situated 13km east of Kaunas on the right side of the river Nemunas. The fortress mounds and barrow graves indicate that the site was inhabited in ancient times.
