1. Birute Park

Reviewed By msotic - London, United Kingdom
If you ever in Palanga this is a must go place. Park is big and clean with a lot of bins around and really lovely atmosphere. You can see various different plants and flowers here and it has some really nice looking garden areas. There is a Birutes hill here a hill where old pagans used to live and do their rituals. There is a direct access to the beach from park and this park is a truly nice place to go for a walk and chill.
2. Gate of Dawn

Reviewed By JudyB528 - Appleton, United States
We went into the entrance off the street and walked up the stairs, not realizing what we would see. We entered a small room where the picture is and quite a number of people were on their knees praying to the Blessed Virgin. It is something to see it from the street, but do go inside to get the full experience.
3. Church Of St Peter And St Paul
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,204 reviews
Reviewed By VWriter - Los Gatos, United States
The exterior of this church stands out for its architecture. Reminiscent of Italianate design, Sts Peter and Paul has high towers, is sandy yellow and is trimmed in white; while maroon tile roofing completes the picture. As striking as its exterior is, it's the interior that grabbed my attention. This church is gleaming white inside; there is stucco and marble everywhere you look. Sculptures, paintings, and frescoes adorn the 13 chapels, high ceilings, nave and altar area. Pretty overwhelming.
4. Holy Spirit Orthodox Church

Reviewed By Luv2TravelFarNWide - Phoenix, United States
This is the major Russian Orthodox church in Lithuania and is affiliated with two Orthodox monasteries: The Monastery of the Holy Spirit and the Convent of Saint Mary Magdalen -- the only remaining Orthodox monasteries in Lithuania. Inside the unassuming Baroque-style entrance is a beautiful green and blue chancellery and sanctuary. The surprise when you open the door will take your breath away.
5. Hill of Three Crosses

Reviewed By Ronwol - Los Angeles, United States
There is a long history of this hill, as crosses changed many times....it is situated at a nice park and the main benefit going there is the great panoramic view of Vilnius old town. Spectacular!
6. Paneriai (Ponar)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 223 reviews
Reviewed By TabathaSoltay - Ottawa, Canada
This is worth the trip - but make sure the museum is open because the people who work there are passionate about sharing what really happened in this spot. It is a beautiful and peaceful park, take your time to walk around and really think about what happened here and the memorials that have been put in place to remember the 100,000 people who lost their lives here.

8. Kryziu Kalnas
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By cooker3000 - Dublin, Ireland
I visited here after staying in Siaulia overnight. If you don't have your own transport it's tricky to do this as a daytrip from either Riga or Vilnius. It's possible but it would be a very long day. There are regular buses from the main bus station that take about 40 minutes to small bus shelter, from there it's about 2km to the actual hill itself. I knew there would be a lot of crosses but really staggered by how many. I can't even imagine how many. It's a really striking, unique place and I'd highly recommend visiting if at all possible.Try visiting early in morning or in evening if possible as it was pretty busy when I visited.
9. St. Anne's Church

Reviewed By Oldjack - Greater Melbourne, Australia
St Anne's Church is a 15th century, Gothic red brick (numerous colors and style of red brick) church that is quite small and sits in front of the much bigger Bernadine Church in similar red brick. This is a must see in Vilnius.
10. Old Town Kaunas
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,132 reviews
Reviewed By UriusT - Vilnius, Lithuania
Kaunas Old Town is the heart of Lithuania, particularly Santaka and the confluence of the Neris and Nemunas rivers. The most spiritual, central core of the nation. This coming from a Vilnius resident. The Old Town proper is a distinguished collection of gorgeous and ancient structures and styles, pointing to the complex and diverse history of the city. Going through much renovations and restorations over the last decade in particular, the slow but steady gentrification of Kaunas Senamiestis is increasing at a break neck pace. While not nearly as gentrified and tourist focused as Vilnius Old Town, nonetheless the process is killing of some of the more organic cultural elements of the neighborhood in favor of concentrated capital and tourism.
