1 & 2 Day Vilnius Itineraries
Geography-aware sample routes built around Cathedral Square and Gediminas Hill, then a second day covering Soviet-era history and the city's best viewpoint, with an integrated Google Maps route for each day.
Day 1: Cathedral Square & Gediminas Hill
Vilnius Cathedral, Katedros a. 2, Vilnius, Lithuania
Start at Lithuania's primary cathedral, the neoclassical basilica anchoring Cathedral Square, and step inside the baroque Chapel of St. Casimir.
Vilnius Cathedral Bell Tower, Katedros a. 2, Vilnius, Lithuania
Climb the free-standing Belfry right beside the cathedral for panoramic views over the square and the Old Town rooftops.
Gediminas' Tower, Arsenalo g. 5, Vilnius, Lithuania
Walk up the hill (or take the separate funicular) to the last surviving tower of the Upper Castle, with the National Museum of Lithuania's exhibits inside and the best panoramic viewpoint in the city at the top.
💡 Practical Tips & Recommendations
- • Both the Bell Tower and Gediminas' Tower are confirmed included free with the Vilnius Pass — only the cathedral itself needs no pass at all, since it's always free.
- • The funicular up Gediminas Hill is a separate ticket from everything else today, including the Vilnius Pass — budget for it separately if you don't want to walk up.
- • Cathedral Square is the natural starting point for the rest of the Old Town, so linger here before heading on.
