"Miracle" Tile

The Miracle Tile is one of Vilnius most beloved traditions. This tile, embedded in the pavement of Cathedral Square, marks the spot where the Baltic Way began on August 23, 1989 — a 600 km human chain from Vilnius to Tallinn uniting three Baltic nations in their quest for freedom. Tradition says: stand on the tile, close your eyes, spin three times and make a wish — it will come true. The tile is located between the Cathedral and the bell tower, marked with the word STEBUKLAS (Miracle). A must-visit spot for every Vilnius visitor.

Vilnius TV Tower

Sausio 13-osios g. 10, Vilnius

Vilnius TV Tower stands 326.5 meters tall - Lithuania's highest structure and the tallest in the Baltic states. The observation deck at 165 meters delivers a breathtaking 360 degree panorama of Vilnius; on clear days you can see as far as Trakai Castle. For the adventurous: the outdoor observation terrace lets you step outside at height, feel the open air above the city, and look straight down through glass panels embedded in the floor - one of the most thrilling experiences in Vilnius. The rotating restaurant Pauksciau takas completes one full revolution every 45 minutes, revealing the full Vilnius skyline as you dine. Perfect for a special dinner or a memorable lunch with a view. Overnight stays in the panoramic room are also available. The tower is also a profound historical landmark: on the night of January 13, 1991, Soviet troops stormed the tower and Lithuanians died defending it. A memorial and exhibition on the ground floor tells this important story.
