From the top there’s a nice view of the City. We took the funicular to the top, but you can reach it by walking as well.

This church is known by many names in english.

There is a long history of this hill, as crosses changed many times....it is situated at a nice park and the main benefit going there is the great panoramic view of Vilnius old town. Spectacular!

Trakai Castle and Museum is without doubt one of the best castles I have ever visited and was well worth travelling there from Vilnius on a day trip.The castle is so incredibly pretty and scenic.There is is a lot to see and do at the castle,if you explore it fully you are looking at circa 2-3 hours of sightseeing to cover it all.Unfortunately,my girlfriend was keen to do this on a fast track,so I didn't get to cover this in the detail that I wanted to. The castle has regal interiors,artwork opulent furniture,lots of weaponry and armour,historical information and interesting displays.I took plenty of pictures,whilst sightseeing the castle.Ticket entry is 8 Euros,they try to charge you extra for a photo permit,which I never got.This permit Is not enforced,so don't waste your money getting one. You can take some amazing pictures of the pretty castle in the background as you explore the area around the castle before the bridge.You can also take a 30 minute boat tour of Lake Galva,before/after your visit to the castle. You can get to Trakai by bus from Vilnius bus station or by train.Either way will still leave you with a significant walk.We caught the bus on the way down and enjoyed a leisurely walk down there. There are a couple of churches you can visit on the way down,a smaller history museum and a I love Trakai sign/monument not to be missed as a photo taking opportunity:)On the return leg we caught the train,which is much less congested than the buses,but more infrequent and a bit further out than the bus station. Trakai Castle does get exceptionally busy,so I would recommend getting there early to beat some of the crowds.

This is the location of the first electric power plant in Vilnius. The interior, and all of its machinery, are very well preserved and presented. In addition, there is a wild sound and light room covered in rubber in the basement, a reconstructed societ-times apartment on the second floor, and on the top floor a bunch of all-ages kinetic games. (Including a slide from the top down for the more adventurous.) Check it out!

St Anne's Church is a 15th century, Gothic red brick (numerous colors and style of red brick) church that is quite small and sits in front of the much bigger Bernadine Church in similar red brick. This is a must see in Vilnius.
