It's also Lithuania's main transport hub, with the country's biggest airport, Vilnius International Airport, situated less than 5 miles from the city center. 

The original town that is now Vilnius was constructed in the 10th century and was made the capital of Lithuania by Grand Duke Gediminas. Over the following centuries, Vilnius became an important center for industry, with the arrival of the printing press in the 16th century. Historically, Vilnius had a prominent Jewish community, which was all but destroyed by the German occupation during the Second World War.

Today, Vilnius has one of the most interesting cultures across the Baltic states and features centuries-old buildings and several intriguing museums.

Attractions and activities near Vilnius

• Gediminas' Tower: Among the most important historic buildings in Lithuania, Gediminas' Tower is a must-see while in Vilnius. Originally built at the start of the 15th century by Grand Duke Vytautas, Gediminas' Tower is the last remaining section of the Upper Castle complex. Gediminas' Tower is seen as an important symbol of Lithuania, with the Lithuanian flag raised for the first time atop the tower in 1919. The tower has also appeared on Lithuania's currency, litas.
  Perched high atop a hill, visitors can either hike to the tower or take an elevator. You're also able to tour the inside of the three-story tower, which includes displays showing what the original castle would've looked like before it was destroyed. From atop the tower, you can enjoy sublime panoramas of Vilnius. You won't want to lug anything heavy up the hill to Gediminas' Tower, so visit a Vilnius luggage storage service beforehand.
• Trakai Island Castle: Located about 20 miles from Vilnius on an island in the middle of Lake Galvė, Trakai Castle is one of Lithuania's most incredible structures. Similar to Gediminas' Tower, Trakai Castle was built in the early 15th century by Grand Duke Vytautas the Great and was one of the most important castles in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. This medieval Gothic masterpiece fell into disrepair during the 17th and 18th centuries and had to be rebuilt by the Lithuanian government after the Second World War.
  Since the 1960s, tourists have been able to take tours of Trakai Castle, which includes the Trakai Castle Museum. As well as the castle itself, the museum contains hundreds of artifacts recovered from the original castle, including furniture, glasswork, weapons, armor, and much more.
