  If you are visiting Gediminas Castle Tower, spent a little time to visit here too since it is just a short walk nearby. Walking up will give you a good exercise, especially at the last part leading up to the top. People used to challenge themselves by running up the slope to the top. If you drive, you can save a bit of walking but you still need to scale the steep slope since no cars are allowed past it :) View up there is great, with Vilnius city center in full glory.

  Nice place to visit on a sunny day, and a nice place to have a walk over the hill, which is actually rather steep, but while on the top offers a great view on the old town, a sunny day is better

  The reason we returned to Lithuania having not seen them our first trip. This is the most sacred site in Lithuania- and it is an awe inspiring and very moving site. Listed as 200,000 crosses it looked much more- the hill is covered in crosses great and small with pathways between them. Around the hill and reaching on either side crosses of all shapes and sizes, dedicated to various group, hanging from other crosses and from a great fir tree. The hill was begun in earlier centuries and then in the 1950's the Soviets decided to destroy it as they saw it as an expression of national unity as well as religious power. The people rebuilt, every time the Soviets removed their offerings they returned. It now stands as a shining example of the unbreakable human spirit and of the deep faith of the people. Not to be missed!

  Overwhelming experience. Big story. This is hard to imagine without seeing it. Even my photos pale compared to the over 100,000 crosses placed on the hill.

  Worth go boarded to have a look. also a good place overlooking all the old town of Vilnius.Good weather is must be. because it's all the way up the hill. If it is rainy or snow melt. Is dangerous .see the entire Vilnius Old town that you'll be enjoying the moment.

  You have to climb on hill, using more that hundreds stairs. But it's worth doing.The view you see is marvelous. Be aware of wind.:)

  The Hill of Three Crosses is visible from many points in central Vilnius and stands near to the Gedimino Tower Hill. Essentially it's a hill with, funnily enough...3 crosses on it. There is information at the top about the history of the crosses. It's a nice view and not too strenuous a walk up to the top. Worth the stroll if you have the time but if you only have the time to climb one hill then the Gedimino Tower view is by far the superior option.
