Hill Park

Just a few steps from the Vilnius Old Town, and you'll find yourself in one of the city's most impressive spots – Hill Park. It's a green corner above the Old Town, from where Vilnius reveals itself from an angle you've never seen before.

Four distinctive symbols of Vilnius meet here – Three Crosses Hill, Gediminas Castle Tower, Table Hill, and Bekeš Hill. Each of them has its own character and its own story.

How to recognize the hills of Vilnius?

If you're visiting for the first time, getting your bearings is easier than it seems:

• You can easily recognize Three Crosses Hill by the three white crosses on its summit
• Gediminas Castle Tower is home to the famous tower – one of Lithuania's most important symbols
• Table Hill stands out with its smooth, flat top
• And once you've found these three, you will easily find Bekeš Hill as well – slightly less known, but no less worthy of attention

A panorama worth coming for

Hill Park is one of the best places to see Vilnius from above. From here, you can see:

• the panorama of the Old Town's red roofs
• the bends of the Neris River
• the green forests surrounding the city
• the contrast between the historic center and the modern city

It is especially worth coming here early in the morning or in the evening, when the city is covered in golden light or the night lights are lit.

More than just a walk

Behind Three Crosses Hill lies another, lesser-known place – the summer stage. Concerts, festivals, and other city events regularly take place here.

But even without events, it is an ideal place for:

• a quiet walk
• a short escape from the city bustle
• active leisure (running, stairs, workouts)
• photographs and Instagram shots

Why is it worth adding to your itinerary?

Hill Park is one of those places where you can feel the true spirit of Vilnius – standing in nature, you see the living, breathing city right in front of you. And it's completely free.
