Discover Vilnius’ Hidden Treasures: Coins & City Skyline

Discover Vilnius’ Hidden Treasures: Coins & City Skyline 🏰💰 Kick off your city tour in Vilnius with an unusual pairing—a journey from Lithuania’s quirky Money Museum to the heights of the Bell Tower at Vilnius Cathedral! Both are within walking distance, perfect for an easy urban stroll. Start at the Money Museum of the Bank of Lithuania (Totorių g. 2/8), open Tues–Fri 9am–6pm, Sat 10am–5pm. Dive into everything currency—from tactile coin exhibits to interactive screens tracking global economies. Don’t miss snapping a photo of the giant coin wall; it’s seriously insta-worthy and a fun way to get creative with reflections. Top tip: There’s a fun activity kiosk where you “mint” your own souvenir coin—don’t skip it! The museum is free, but bags must be checked, so bring only essentials. Next, wander over to the Bell Tower of Vilnius Cathedral (Cathedral Clock Tower, a. 2), open Mon–Sat 10am–6pm. Climb the spiral steps for panoramic city views—best shot is from the tower’s top windows, framing the cathedral below and skyline beyond. Early afternoons mean softer light and fewer crowds for both the museum and the tower, making your photo ops pop! The tower climb is fairly steep, so wear comfy shoes and watch your step on the old stone stairs. Time your visit so you cover both attractions before midday “rush.” If you’re doing Vilnius by foot, these two make a smooth, memorable loop! #vilnius #hiddengems #museumlover #cityviews #eurotrip
