5.0 based on 4 reviews
Vilnius Pilgrim Center helps pilgrims discover Vilnius as the City of Divine Mercy and this enables them to have a unique pilgrimage experience.
Reviewed By JeffF1202 - North Vancouver, Canada
I have been to Vilnius three times in the past two years. I keep getting pulled back by my interest in Divine Mercy and Our Lady of the Gates of Dawn devotions as well as the Jewish history. I have come to love the city in many ways. I first came across the Pilgrim Centre as I was planning my first visit. I wrote to them and received a quick response, along with arrangements they had made for me to stay in a convent guest room. Since then, I have come to rely on Inesa, the head administrator, as my main pilgrimage resource in Vilnius. She and her staff are friendly, responsive and knowledgeable. If one is in Vilnius as a pilgrim I strongly suggest forming a relationship with the centre.

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.

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.

The Church of St. John the Baptist & the Evangelist is located on Pilies street and is a part of the Vilnius University Complex. It’s got a Bell Tower beside it which is one among the highest building structures in Old Town.
5. Church Of St Peter And St Paul

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.
6. Holy Spirit Orthodox Church

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.

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.
