Overview
Visitors praise Vilnius Cathedral as a must-see landmark, celebrated for its magnificent neoclassical architecture at the heart of the Old Town. While entry to the main cathedral is free, offering a peaceful atmosphere, some find its interior simpler than the ornate exterior. The true artistic treasures are found in the side chapels, especially the highly decorated, baroque-style Chapel of St. Casimir. The cathedral is a repository of Lithuanian and Polish history, housing royal tombs and the remains of St. Casimir, the Patron Saint of Lithuania. For deeper exploration, consider paid tickets for the crypts or the bell tower, but book tours in advance and check the schedule, as visits are prohibited during mass.
