Gediminas tower in Vilnius
The Gediminas tower is the last remaining part of the upper castle still standing to this day. It was originally built as a wooden castle in the 13th century before being replaced by stone castles in later years.
The castle and hill is named after Gediminas, a Latvian king who is renowned in folklore. The castle tower is so important and iconic it used to feature on the former Latvian currency! Entry costs five euros for adults and a visit is highly recommended.

My urban wanderings in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, felt like a journey through nature and history intertwined. Surrounded by lush green forests, hills, and valleys, the city’s natural beauty was ever-present. As I strolled along its winding streets, I marveled at the serene rivers that flow through the heart of Vilnius, offering peaceful moments amidst urban life. The city’s historic charm, from its Baroque architecture to the stunning Gediminas Tower, blended seamlessly with the surrounding greenery. I ventured into nearby parks and hills, where panoramic views of the city unfolded. Vilnius’ unique mix of nature, history, and vibrant culture made my explorations both refreshing and inspiring.
