www.bajoruuzeiga.lt E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Telephone: (+370 5) 240 3957, (+370) 67299332 Vilnius – Lithuanian Capital of Culture Vilnius is a unique city that boasts medieval castles, unique architecture of the Old Town, a great number of regularly held concerts and performances, luxurious restaurants and clubs.

Within a few days you will have time to feel the colour of the Old Town (with its churches, squares and streets, cathedrals, castles, belfries, monasteries, bastions and palaces), visit a few museums (Vilnius Ethnography Museum, National Museum, Museum of Genocide Victims, etc). Stroll through the Park of Europe – one of the most impressive museums of modern art. We will also suggest going to the theatre, opera or a concert.

Lithuanian Manors, Parks and Castles In almost every corner of Lithuania one can admire manors and castles, sometimes derelict and dilapidated, yet always refl ecting the dramatic events in the history of the nation. We will visit the ancient capitals of Lithuania; go to the family estate of counts Tyszkiewicz-Lоhоjski, Trakų Vokė estate, and Lentvaris manor; will have a look at Užutrakis Palace and Park. We will devote an entire day to Vilnius castles, palaces, monaster- ies, squares and parks and also visit Amber Museum in the palace of Count Tyszkiewicz in Palanga, situated in a magnifi cent park designed by a famous French architect Édouard André. Churches and Cemeteries of Lithuania Churches in Lithuania are not just places of pilgrimage but also living monuments, quite accurately and profoundly refl ecting the history of the region and nation. Many small towns are spotted with domes of cathedrals, churches and temples. Almost every chapel is a real work of art. All of this is spiritual heritage belonging to people of all confessions. The art of Romantic poets and Juliusz Slowacki connected memories of Vilnius of Polish, Lithuanian and Belarusian peoples forever; the heart of the Polish Marshal Jozef Pilsudski is buried in Vilnius . It is impossible to visit all holy places in Lithuania in just a few days. However, we suggest at least glimpsing at the sacramental heritage. You will visit the most beautiful churches of Vilnius: Church of the Holy Mother of God, St. Anne’s Church, Church of Ss. Peter and Paul, St. Michael’s Church that houses the Museum of History of Religion, Bernardine Church – one of the biggest Gothic churches in Vilnius (church, yard, basement); you will also visit Cemetery, Rasos Cemetery and Rokantiškės Cemetery. UNESCO World Heritage in Lithuania Republic of Lithuania was admitted to UNESCO in 1991. One of the tasks of the organisation is preservation of spiritual heritage for future generations. Between the 12th and 18th century Vilnius, political centre of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, had a great impact on the cultural and architectural development of Eastern Europe. Despite all invasions and partial destructions the city has preserved an impressive complex of buildings of the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Classical periods, as well as medieval buildings and natural resources. All of that contributed to the inscription of the historic city centre in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994. During the tour you will visit one of the oldest universities in Western Europe, Vilnius University. You will admire churches, squares, narrow streets and temples of various confessions (the Cathedral, the Gates of Dawn, Church of Ss. Peter and Paul, Gediminas Castle, Town Hall Square, St. Anne’s Church, Bernardine Monastery, Rasos Cemetery). The Curonian Spit, a unique creation of man and nature, was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000 and is a peninsula (about 98 km in length and 0,4-4 km in width) stretched on the territory of two countries – Lithuania and Russia (Kaliningrad region). Lithuania owns 50 km of the north of the peninsula. We will also visit the Sea Museum, Dolphinarium, watch how a sundial works or take a boat trip (try cooking a fi sh soup and visit the bird ringing station). Kernavė, a small place that witnesses unique cultural traditions of extinct civilizations, was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2004. Kernavė is the only town in the Baltic States located on fi ve hill forts; it is also the fi rst capital of Lithuania. Moreover, Kernavė has a status of National Reserve, where archaeological excavations take place continually for almost 30 years now, and the local Museum of Archaeology and History has a great number of unique artefacts. www.bajoruuzeiga.lt E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Telephone: (+370 5) 240 3957, (+370) 67299332 Lithuania in a New Way – Discover Lithuania for Yourself An attempt to fi nd, to get to know or at least to touch “other” Lithuania is a serious intellectual challenge for those who want to learn something new.

We will also stop in a small place called Stelmužė (Tower of Slaves, Church of the Holy Cross – now museum of ecclesiastical art, a bell tower), drop by at Kvintiškės to see the place of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We suggest having a look at post-Soviet Vilnius – a city with imprints of wild capitalism.
