The Television Tower and Vingis Park Route

When love doesn’t end in the Old Town...

There’s enough space in your heart for the whole of Vilnius; it’s not just the streets of the Old Town that become a map of discovery but also other districts of the city. The spectacular panorama of Vilnius is like a jigsaw puzzle whose pieces we invite you to put together by exploring the city by bike.

On this route, you will not only see the much-loved Old Town, but you will also come across the wooden architecture of Žvėrynas and the open-air museum of exceptional urbanism – Lazdynai. In the Karoliniškės Landscape Reserve, the largest in Lithuania, you will be able to stop to admire the spectacular panorama of Vilnius from the Plikakalnis outcrop.
