Standing apart from the cathedral itself, the free-standing Bell Tower is one of the most recognisable silhouettes in Cathedral Square — a round, tiered white tower built on the remains of the Lower Castle's old defensive wall. Operated by the Church Heritage Museum, it's open to climb for panoramic views over the Old Town's red rooftops and Gediminas Hill. Unlike the cathedral itself, which is always free, the Bell Tower is a separately ticketed museum experience.
What to See: Top Highlights
Historic Bells
Several bells dating across different centuries hang inside the tower's upper levels, some older than the tower's current form.
Medieval Wall Foundations
The tower's base incorporates remnants of the Lower Castle's original defensive wall, visible as you climb.
Panoramic Old Town Views
The top platform looks out over Cathedral Square, the Old Town's rooftops, and Gediminas Hill.
