I just wrapped up a city-hopping weekend through Vilnius!

I just wrapped up a city-hopping weekend through Vilnius — and seriously, Vilnius surprised me with its blend of quirky eats, luxe stays, and walkable history! 🌍✨ Here’s my Vilnius itinerary if you’ve only got a weekend: Stay central at Amberton Cathedral Square Hotel Vilnius (L. Stuokos-Gucevičiaus g. 1). You’ll be steps away from the Cathedral and old town action. Pro tip: opt for self-check-in if you want privacy and be ready for limited English at the front desk; value, location, and cleanliness are major pluses. Breakfast here is rave-worthy, and rooms come with bathtubs, kettles, and refrigerators for those cozy mornings. 🏨 Day 1: Fuel up with a gourmet burger at Boom! Burgers Lithuania (Gedimino 1) then check out the Money Museum of the Bank of Lithuania (open Tues-Sat, 10AM–7PM) for quirky coin displays. Climb the Bell Tower of Vilnius Cathedral for epic old town views. Don’t miss dinner at Rishon (Mesiniu str. 3), serving up hearty local flavors. Day 2: Grab brunch at Gyvas Baras (Traku g. 11) — veggie-friendly, casual vibes. If you crave a fast bite, KFC (Gedimino pr. 1, right by the Cathedral) is easy to spot. Stroll past Grand Hotel Vilnius then wind down exploring cute shops and hidden alleys before catching your train out. Getting Around: Vilnius is ultra walkable, but Bolt and local buses are cheap for longer hops. ATMs are everywhere and tap-to-pay works for nearly everything. Destination Tips: No visa needed for most travelers, and English is okay in tourist spots but Google Translate helps. Bring layers — weather flips fast! Food Picks: Burgers at Boom! are fire, but Rishon = homey Lithuanian plates. Coffee scene is strong, especially in Old Town. #vilniuseats #lithuaniatravel #weekendguide #citybreak #tripdotcom
