Vilnius is a city of church spires. Catholic, Orthodox, and Uniate traditions layered centuries of architecture into a single walkable centre.
Essential Stops
- St. Anne's Church — Napoleon allegedly wanted to carry it to Paris.
- St. Peter and Paul — baroque interior with thousands of stucco figures.
- Gates of Dawn — pilgrimage site with a miraculous icon.
- Orthodox Church of the Holy Spirit — quieter, richly decorated.
