Baroque Old Town and Užupis

First recorded in 1323 under Grand Duke Gediminas, Vilnius unfolds one of Eastern Europe’s largest historic cores, about 3.6 km², where restrained Lithuanian Baroque meets late Brick Gothic. Cathedral Square spreads under the castle hill; 900 meters away, St Anne’s Church showcases razor‑sharp brick tracery that even caught Napoleon’s eye. Pass through the Gate of Dawn, a centuries‑old Marian shrine, then cross the Vilnia to Užupis, a former artisan quarter that cheekily adopted its own Constitution in 1997—now posted in twenty languages.

We start at your hotel, at your time, with a Mercedes sized to your party and a driver who knows the drop‑offs right at the pedestrian edges. In Vilnius, your private chauffeur handles traffic and parking while you walk Pilies Street, step into the Gate of Dawn, and later drift across to Užupis by the Vilnia bridge just 1.2 km away. You taste a slice of sakotis or a warm kibinas; he waits, adjusts the order for light or crowds, and brings the car around precisely when you’re ready.
