It’s time to start dreaming of your next trip. Here’s some destination inspiration for you. Take a visual journey through Vilnius, Lithuania, with us.
The city and lake resort of Trakai can be found 17 miles west of Vilnius, and is well worth a visit. Within Trakai is Takai Island Castle, on an island in Lake Galvé. First built in the 14th century, the castle is a popular attraction, complete with wooden galleries, an inner yard and towers. © Aleh Varanishcha | Dreamstime.com
St. Anne’s Church lies in Vilnius’ Old Town, established in the late 15th century. Built using 33 different kinds of clay bricks and painted red, this church includes a nave and two towers, with the main façade designed in the Flamboyant Gothic style. © Dinozzaver | Dreamstime.com
Called The Gate of Dawn, this 16th-century gate comprised part of the city’s defensive fortifications. In the 16th century, city gates often featured religious artifacts to bless travelers and guard the city from attacks. At this gate, the chapel contains an icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary, said to have miraculous powers. © Krivinis | Dreamstime.com
Crosses have been at this site at least since the 17th century, but these current monuments, aptly named the Three Crosses, were erected in 1989. The crosses stand on Bald Hill in Kalnai Park, which, according to legend, was the site of the beheading of seven Franciscan friars. © Darius Strazdas | Dreamstime.com
Indulge in Kibinai, a traditional Lithuanian pastry filled with mutton and onion. This pastry is particularly popular with the Karaite ethnic minority in Lithuania, and can be enjoyed any meal of the day. © Vera Fedorova | Dreamstime.com
See Vilnius from new heights on a hot-air balloon ride over the city. Balloon season runs April 15–Oct. 15, and tour operators arrange experiences for groups of all sizes. You can even enjoy dinner in the sky! © MNStudio | Dreamstime.com
The city is rich in street art. In Katedros Square, you’ll find the Miracle Tile, where different rituals on the tile mean your miracle will come true. The city is also home to Lucky Belly, a sculpture of a belly protruding from the wall that gives luck to any who pat the belly. An open-air gallery also lies in the city, complete with more than 30 works of art and light installations. © Meunierd | Dreamstime.com
