TV Tower Vilnius
About

Rising 326.5 metres above the Karoliniškės district, the Vilnius TV Tower is Lithuania’s tallest structure and a striking symbol of resilience and innovation. Completed in 1980, it played a pivotal role during the events of January 13, 1991, when civilians defended it against Soviet forces—a moment now commemorated by a ground-floor exhibition. Today, the tower is a popular attraction offering panoramic views from its rotating observation deck and the 67th-floor bistro-bar “Toliai.” On clear days, visitors can see as far as Elektrėnai, 40 km away. The tower also features seasonal experiences like the open-air Edge Walk at 170 metres and transforms into a giant Christmas tree during the holidays. Easily accessible by public transport, the Vilnius TV Tower blends history, architecture, and adventure, making it a must-visit for those seeking a unique perspective on the Lithuanian capital.
