Have you included the ascent to the Vilnius observation decks in your recreation program? Having realized your plans, you will be able to look at the Užupis district, the Ausros gate, the Church of the Holy Spirit and other objects from an unusual angle.
Observation deck at the intersection of Myrone and Subačiaus streets
Having found it, travelers will be able to admire the entire Old Town, the Gediminas Tower, the Church of St. Anne, and they will be able to recognize what exactly they see with the help of an information board equipped on the site.
Observation deck in the shopping center “Gedimino 9”
To admire the views of the Old Town, it is recommended to visit the observation platform on the 5th floor of the shopping center “Gedimino 9”. Address: Gedimino prospektas, 9.
Gediminas Tower
From the observation deck of the tower (its height is 20 m; a staircase of 78 steps leads to it), guests admire the tiled roofs of the Old Town and the valley of the Neris River. You can buy a ticket at the entrance to the tower by walking along the Castle Hill or going upstairs using the funicular.

Vilnius TV Tower
The building (its height is more than 320 m) houses the Milky Way restaurant at a height of 165 meters (an elevator delivers guests to the 55th floor in 45 seconds) - it serves as one of the best viewing platforms, and a 360˚ view (visibility - up to 50 km) is opened due to the fact that the institution is located on a rotating platform. And at the entrance to the TV tower, you should pay attention to the photo exhibition, which is dedicated to the tragic events of January 1991.
It should be noted that upon completion of the reconstruction of the building, which is planned to begin in 2015 (it will take about 4 years), guests and residents of Vilnius will have the opportunity to visit the open observation deck. The panoramic restaurant is open from 11:00 to 23:00.
