Vilnius TV Tower
About

The Vilnius TV Tower is the tallest structure in Lithuania, rising 326.5 meters above the Karoliniškės district and serving as a landmark of both engineering and national memory. Completed in 1980, the tower combines telecommunications infrastructure with public attractions, including a rotating observation deck and the bistro-bar “Paukščių takas” located 165 meters above ground. From here, visitors enjoy panoramic views of Vilnius and its surroundings, with visibility extending up to 40 kilometers on clear days. The tower played a pivotal role in Lithuania’s fight for independence during the events of January 13, 1991, when Soviet forces attempted to seize it, resulting in the deaths of 14 civilians. A memorial and museum on the ground floor commemorate this historic moment. Today, the Vilnius TV Tower is not only a functional broadcast center but also a symbol of resilience, offering educational programs, seasonal decorations, and sky-high experiences that connect past and present in one of the city’s most iconic sites.
