Watch Out For
β οΈOld Town
π The Bottom Line
Vilnius boasts one of Europe's largest baroque old towns, but it's built on hills with cobblestone streets that challenge strollers. The modern city areas are more accessible, and Lithuanian culture is warm and family-oriented. The Neris River provides flat walking paths, and Vingis Park is excellent for families. Public transport is basic but functional, and the city has a relaxed, less touristy feel than many European capitals.
