Gate of Dawn

Reviewed By JudyB528 - Appleton, United States

We went into the entrance off the street and walked up the stairs, not realizing what we would see. We entered a small room where the picture is and quite a number of people were on their knees praying to the Blessed Virgin. It is something to see it from the street, but do go inside to get the full experience.

Bernardine Church (Bernardinu Baznycia)

Reviewed By thekruns - Sandefjord, Norway

This church is known by many names in english. Here are the ones I know: The Church and Monastery of St.Francis of Assisi (Bernardine), The Church of St. Francis and St. Bernard, Bernardine Church, St. Francis of Assisi (Bernardine) Roman Catholic Church. In Lithuanian, it´s called BERNARDINŲ BAŽNYČIA. The interior can be described as old, beautiful and humble. The church is situated right behind St. Anne´s Church.

Church Of St Peter And St Paul

Reviewed By VWriter - Los Gatos, United States

The exterior of this church stands out for its architecture. Reminiscent of Italianate design, Sts Peter and Paul has high towers, is sandy yellow and is trimmed in white; while maroon tile roofing completes the picture. As striking as its exterior is, it's the interior that grabbed my attention. This church is gleaming white inside; there is stucco and marble everywhere you look. Sculptures, paintings, and frescoes adorn the 13 chapels, high ceilings, nave and altar area. Pretty overwhelming.

Holy Spirit Orthodox Church

Reviewed By Luv2TravelFarNWide - Phoenix, United States

This is the major Russian Orthodox church in Lithuania and is affiliated with two Orthodox monasteries: The Monastery of the Holy Spirit and the Convent of Saint Mary Magdalen -- the only remaining Orthodox monasteries in Lithuania. Inside the unassuming Baroque-style entrance is a beautiful green and blue chancellery and sanctuary. The surprise when you open the door will take your breath away.

Paneriai (Ponar)

Reviewed By TabathaSoltay - Ottawa, Canada

This is worth the trip - but make sure the museum is open because the people who work there are passionate about sharing what really happened in this spot. It is a beautiful and peaceful park, take your time to walk around and really think about what happened here and the memorials that have been put in place to remember the 100,000 people who lost their lives here.

Church of St. Theresa

Reviewed By MikaelF413 - Vantaa, Finland

If you want to see many beautiful churches, Vilnius is the place. This church is probably Vilnius’ best surviving example of Early Baroque churches, completed in 1650.
