There was one much higher point in Vilnius old town area - Gediminas Castle Tower, that is on top of quite tall hill. Previous Part 3.

This dog Statue was just under the hillside on the ground.

It took about 5 minutes climbing to get on top of the hill. There was also a elevator kind of thing on other side but we decided it was easier to climb.

The first time seeing the Lithuanian Flag in Vilinus I guess or at least noticed it now.

It looks very unique. Also didn't really visit the other side (right side) of that river. So its nice to at least look at it from above.

Churches and skyscrapers together.

Skyline still in building as we see cranes.

It was much foggier this day and visibility was not that great.

The Old Town side with a lot of red roofs. And many churches.

Another crane. Soon it will be ready and people can move in.

Some graffiti on one building, seems like its construction has stopped or something.

Funky looking building also. Also has some street art graffiti on it.

The Three Crosses Monument on other side of river - it was quite far, so the picture is zoomed in a lot.

Another interesting statue or monument. This is King Mindaugas in front of Lithuanian National Museum.

Christmas Market was selling all sorts of stuff from the big Square almost next to that hill.

And finally Christmas tree next to Bell Tower of Vilnius Cathedral. In previous post we visited the Cathedral indside.

Now I remembered I had a bit of a Cold on this whole trip but the weather was good enough not for it to be too big problem. I drank a lot of tea in the hotel when resting from all the walking around.

Thanks for watching, will post 1 or 2 more posts about this beautiful city.
