Vilnius city guide

Planning your next city break? Instead of the usual central European tourist spots, why not venture north to Vilnius, Lithuania’s beautiful capital.

Described as the “g-spot of Europe,” the city is steeped in history, culture and stunning natural and architectural beauty.

Along with its charming Old Town, which is a UNESCO world heritage site, Vilnius has a thriving gastronomy scene and plenty of quirky sights, including a former prison which was used as a filming location for Stranger Things Season 4.

As the city celebrates its 700th anniversary this year, there’s never been a better time to visit the jewel in the crown of the Baltics.
