The Hill of the three crosses is a spot just outside town comemorating the martyrdom of three orthodox monks. You can walk up without too much difficulty and from the top, you get great views out over the town.

The Presidential palace is a beautiful white building and has been graced by the likes of Napoleon and Alexander I in the past. Definately worth seeing.

This museum is contained in the building that the KGB used as a prison and interrogation centre during the occupation. Its really quite upsetting and especially moving to see the cells in the basement which are kept perectly in tact, including the wet rooms and other interrogation rooms.

This is the most impressive building in Vilneus and an incredibly imposing piece of classical architecture by anyone's standards. It used to be the site of a pagan temple but is now a very sacred Catholic Cathedral and holds regular services.
