Vilnius

Vilnius is the most important Lithuanian city. And not only because it serves as the capital city. First of all, it is an important educational center.

It is here that the Ostra Brama Chapel (or the Gate of Dawn) is located, to which the faithful not only from Lithuania, but above all from Poland, make pilgrimages. However, over 40 other churches can also be found in the city. Poles will also find here numerous traces of our great countrymen. It is enough to take a walk around the Rossa cemetery , where, among others, Józef Piłsudski's heart was buried. Vilnius also has many other interesting monuments and great walking areas.
