Review of Vilnius
Vilnius
Vilnius flight tickets take visitors to the charming historic Old Town offering culture and late-night dining. The trendy Šnipiškes district lies north of the Neris river.
Things to do
A tour of the Cathedral, Higher Castle, and the museums of the Old Town reveal Vilnius's fascinating yet troubled past. The sculptures of Europa Park symbolise the heart of Europe; on a clear day spot Belarus from the Television Tower in Karoliniškes.
Shopping
Travel to Vilnius for linen, amber and antiques shops in the Old Town. The chaotic flea market, Gariunu Market, is a must for an early-morning potter on a Vilnius holiday, while gleaming Europa mall dominates Šnipiškes.
Restaurants
The streets of Vilnius's Old Town are lined with restaurants, ranging from Mediterranean dining to filling dumplings in beer cellars. For romantic river views, head for Tores in Užupis.
Nightlife
Flights to Vilnius take visitors to world-class clubs and bars in the Old Town. Pubs and cafés in up-and-coming Šnipiškes open late into the night. Classical music fans need look no further than the Congress Palace for their entertainment.
When to go
KLM and partners have frequent flights to Vilnius. Book tickets for classical music festivals throughout the summer or take a flight to Vilnius between December and February for clear, sunny, but bitterly cold days sightseeing in the snow-clad city.
