Hill of Crosses

A worth while day trip whether you take a tour bus or get there on your own. It is estimated that there are over 100,000 crosses that have been left by tourists or Catholic pilgrims. You can purchase wood crosses to leave upon arrival for very cheap. To get to the Hill of Crosses from Vilnius, take a train to Siauliai and walk to the bus station. Go inside the bus station and ask for the bus schedule for the Hill of Crosses. You should be handed a piece of paper with the bus schedule to and from the stop. Once you get off at the bus stop, walk about 15 minutes to the Hill of Crosses. It is pretty easy and you can just follow the road with the tour buses!

Užupis

My favorite neighborhood of Vilnius! This eclectic artist community is full of fun sites and can easily bring a smile to your face. There are also great little shops that sell pieces of art and jewelry from local artists.

Tibetan Square

The Tibetan Square was visited by his Holiness the Dali Lama and consecrated the Mandala Sculpture. It is pretty little square lined with hanging Tibetan flags and is located close to the Uzupis neighborhood.

restaurants

Lokys

One of my favorite restaurants in Vilnius with an interesting historical background. This dining establishment in Old Town Vilnius specializes in Game Meat but offers other traditional meals. I came in during lunch time so the place was not too busy. During the evenings it can get busy so reservations may be required.

Etno Dvaras

Famous for their traditional Lithuanian Cuisine, Etno Dvaras is definitely a delicious place to have a good meal. I recommend the traditional potato dumplings and the cold beet soup.
