Walk along the winding cobbled streets of this picturesque and historic capital city, noted for its fine baroque architecture. Vilnius has the largest Old Town in Europe. At the heart of the city is Gedimas Square, a spacious area that features a lovely Classical-style Cathedral. Elsewhere, the University of Vilnius, among the oldest education institutions in central Europe, has some pleasant old courtyards and arcades, giving the place a distinctly Renaissance feel. Great city views can be had by climbing the tower of Gedimins Castle, built on a hill overlooking the city.
