Vilnius TV Tower, Television tower in Karoliniškės, Lithuania.
Vilnius TV Tower is a concrete structure that rises 326 meters tall with an observation deck positioned at 165 meters above ground. From this height, visitors can see across the entire city and get a clear view of Vilnius and its surroundings.
Construction of this facility started in 1974 during the Soviet period and finished in 1980 as part of infrastructure development. In the years that followed, it became a site where major events took place that changed the nation's course.
The tower holds memories of January 13, 1991, when Lithuanians gathered here to defend their independence against Soviet forces. This story remains part of the place and shapes how many visitors understand its significance today.
The best time to visit is on clear days when the views from the observation deck extend the farthest across the landscape. It makes sense to check the weather before heading up to ensure you can actually enjoy what you see from above.
The observation level features a rotating bistro that slowly spins as visitors enjoy their time there, allowing them to see the city from all angles. This rotating feature lets people experience a complete 360-degree view of Vilnius while they eat or drink.
