VIXI Skylum is the kind of stay I'd choose when I want apartment space rather than a standard hotel room. The one-bedroom setup, terrace and balcony, sofa bed, and proper kitchen make it especially handy for a relaxed longer visit or a small group.

Town Hall Square is one of those places that rewards simply strolling through rather than planning around it. I especially liked it at dusk, when the square still felt lively, with people out and businesses open against the pretty evening backdrop.

The Palace of the Grand Dukes is where Vilnius's royal past starts to feel tangible rather than distant. I enjoyed moving through the reconstructed historic interiors and imagining the palace as a center of political, cultural, and everyday life.
