Gediminas Tower Funicular Railway, Vilnius, Lithuania - 17th January, 2013

Gedminas Tower is the only remaining part of the Upper Castle in Vilnius, Lithuania. It is possible to climb to the top of the hill on foot or by taking a funicular. The tower houses an exposition of archeologic findings from the hill and the surrounding areas. It is also an excellent vantage point, from where the panorama of Vilnius' Old Town can be admired.

A funicular railway also known as an inclined plane or cliff railway, is a cable railway in which a cable attached to a tram-like vehicle on rails moving it up and down a steep slope.

This film features wintery views from the Gedminas Tower hill of the ascending funicular railway, as well as a view of the descent down the hill in the railway, with a view towards the Neris River and the 'new' Northern side of the City of Vilnius.

Vilnius, City Walk - Lithuania 4K Travel Channel

The starting point for our city walk is the Cathedral of St. Stanislaus. This time take a look inside, where a Holy Mass just takes place
From the cathedral, we continue to the funicular tramway which brings us to the Gediminas mountain. We pass the National Museum of Lithuania, in front of which stands a monument to the Grand Duke Mindaugas. He is regarded as the founder of Lithuania and even received the royal crown at the instigation of Pope Innocent IV, in 1253. He was murdered in 1263 because he had lost the support of the population.
From the top of Gediminas Mountain, we have a wonderful panoramic view over Vilnius. Countless churches determine the cityscape. The steepness of the flanks of the mountain gives a sense of how difficult it was for attackers to take over the fortress. Gediminas' Tower on the mountain now houses a museum and is the landmark of Vilnius.
Back at the foot of the mountain we go back to the cathedral and pass the castle. From there we turn into Pilies gatve. It is the main shopping street and the tourist center of Vilnius.
Along the street you find plenty of restaurants and shops. Approximately in the middle of the road, the Literary Street branches off to the left.
Innumerable bookstores and antiquarians lined the narrow lane once. The Lithuanian writer Adam Mickiewicz also lived here temporarily.
Egle Vertelkaite, the curator of the Modern Art Center, launched the project Literatų Street in 2009. About 150 artists pay homage to writers and poets who influenced Lithuanian literature. Therefore they created on the house walls about 200 tiles and plaques made of different materials, such as ceramics, wood, or glass. Also some unknown literati are immortalized here.
The road ends at the Cathedral of the Theotokos in the Maironio gatve.
From here it is only a few steps to Uzupio gatve. The bridge over the Vilnia leads to Uzupis, one of the oldest districts of Vilnius. After Lithuania's independence, it became more and more of a bohemian district. In 1997, the artists proclaimed the independent Republic of Uzupis.

Ausgangspunkt für unseren Stadtspaziergang in Vilnius ist die Kathedrale St. Stanislaus. Diesmal werfen einen Blick hinein, wo gerade eine Messe stattfindet.
Von der Kathedrale gehen wir weiter zur Schrägseilbahn die uns auf den Gediminas-Berg bringt. Dabei passieren wir das Nationalmuseum von Litauen, vor dem ein Denkmal des Großfürsten Mindaugas steht. Er gilt als Gründer Litauens und erhielt auf Veranlassung von Papst Innozenz IV im Jahre 1253 sogar die Königskrone. 1263 wurde er ermordet, da er den Rückhalt in der Bevölkerung verloren hatte.
Oben auf dem Gediminas-Berg angekommen, bietet sich uns ein herrlicher Panoramablick über Vilnius. Unzählige Kirchen bestimmen das Stadtbild. Die Steilheit der Flanken des Berges vermittelt ein Gefühl wie schwer es Angreifer hatten, die Festung einzunehmen. Der Gediminas-Turm auf dem Berg beinhaltet heute ein Museum und ist das Wahrzeichen von Vilnius.
Zurück am Fuß des Berges gehen wir zurück zur Kathedrale und passieren das Schloss. Von dort biegen wir in die Pilies gatve ein. Sie ist die Haupteinkaufstrasse und das touristische Zentrum von Vilnius.
Zahlreiche Restaurants und Geschäfte säumen die Straße. Ungefähr in der Mitte des Verlaufs zweigt die Literatenstraße links ab.
Einst reihten sich in der schmalen Gasse unzählige Buchhandlungen und Antiquariate. Aber auch der litauische Schriftsteller Adam Mickiewicz lebte zeitweise hier.
Egle Vertelkaite, Kuratorin des Modern Art Center startete 2009 das Projekt Literatų Straße. Etwa 150 Künstler erinnern an bedeutende litauische Schriftsteller und Dichter. Hierzu schufen sie an den Hauswänden ca. 200 Kacheln und Gedenktafeln aus verschiedenen Materialien, wie Keramik, Holz, oder Glas. Auch einige unbekannte Literaten sind hier verewigt.
Die Straße mündet bei der Kathedrale der Himmelfahrt der Gottesmutter in die Maironio gatve.
Von hier aus sind es nur wenige Schritte zur Uzupio gatve. Die Brücke über die Vilnia führt nach Uzupis, einem der ältesten Viertel von Vilnius. Nach der Unabhängigkeit Litauens entwickelte es sich mehr und mehr zum Künstlerviertel. 1997 wurde Uzupis von den Künstlern zu unabhängigen Republik Uzupis erklärt.

Baroque Buildings and History of Vilnius, Lithuania

Guided tour over at scaffolded Saint Annes, it was beautiful day to continue exploring Vilnius on our own. Cathedral Square is the historical heart of Vilnius with the Bell Tower, Palace of the Grand Duke of Lithuania and monument to Gediminas (the founder of Vilnius and Trakai).

Time to sit on lively Pilies Street, eat ice cream, enjoy the ambience and buy some amber. Don't bother shopping for the best deal. Walk into an amber shop and if you see something that appeals, just buy it. Either that or devote a month to comparison shopping!

Vilnius Travel Guide

Vilnius Travel Guide: The word Vilnius is a masculine form of a Vilnia river's name (which is feminine) and refers to the river surge. Therefore a variety of spelling in other languages (Vilna, Wilna, Vilno, Wilno) is in fact the same word adapted to the corresponding grammar. The area was inhabited since the Mesolithic era, however it became a capital city only since 1323 when Grand Duke Gediminas transferred the Seat from Trakai to Vilnius. A monument to Gediminas (author of the concept is a Lithuanian-American sculptor Vytautas Kašuba) stands in Cathedral Square near the site of the former pagan temple.

The Grand Duke is depicted at the moment when he made a final decision, dismounted from his horse and blessed the land which will become the capital; its glory shall echo like an iron-wolf-like sound throughout the world. The howling Iron Wolf from the Grand Duke's prophetic dream is depicted below. These two key names, Gediminas and the Iron Wolf (Geležinis vilkas), along with the motif of the howling iron wolf you can find quite a few everywhere in Vilnius, they are branched into the forms of daily life so naturally that are almost imperceptible, unless you're purposely looking for them.

Vilnius - Wilno Lithuania

Photo by: Janusz Dziergwa
The name of the city originated from the Vilnia River. The name of the river derives from the Lithuanian language word vilnis (a surge) or vilnyti (to surge). The city has also been known by many derivate spellings in various languages throughout its history. The most notable non-Lithuanian names for the city include: Polish: Wilno, when the city was part of Poland.
Historian Romas Batūra identifies the city with Voruta, one of the castles of Mindaugas, crowned in 1253 as King of Lithuania. During the reign of Vytenis a city started to emerge from a trading settlement and the first Franciscan Catholic church was built.
The city was first mentioned in written sources in 1323, when the Letters of Grand Duke Gediminas were sent to German cities inviting German members of the Jewish community to settle in the capital city, as well as to Pope John XXII. These letters contain the first unambiguous reference to Vilnius as the capital; Old Trakai Castle had been the earlier seat of the court of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
According to legend, Gediminas dreamt of an iron wolf howling on a hilltop and consulted a pagan priest for its interpretation. He was told: What is destined for the ruler and the State of Lithuania, is thus: the Iron Wolf represents a castle and a city which will be established by you on this site. This city will be the capital of the Lithuanian lands and the dwelling of their rulers, and the glory of their deeds shall echo throughout the world. The location offered practical advantages: it lay within the Lithuanian heartland at the confluence of two navigable rivers, surrounded by forests and wetlands that were difficult to penetrate. The duchy had been subject to intrusions by the Teutonic Knights.
Polish--Lithuanian Commonwealth
The city underwent a period of expansion. The Vilnius city walls were built for protection between 1503 and 1522, comprising nine city gates and three towers, and Sigismund August moved his court there in 1544.Its growth was due in part to the establishment of Alma Academia et Universitas Vilnensis Societatis Iesu by King Stefan Bathory in 1579. The university soon developed into one of the most important scientific and cultural centres of the region and the most notable scientific centre of the Commonwealth.
During its rapid development, the city was open to migrants from the territories of the Grand Duchy and further. A variety of languages were spoken: Lithuanian, Polish, Ruthenian, Russian, Old Slavonic, Latin, German, Yiddish, Hebrew and Turkic; the city was compared to Babylon.[6] Each group made its unique contribution to the life of the city, and crafts, trade, and science prospered.
The 17th century brought a number of setbacks. The Commonwealth was involved in a series of wars, collectively known as The Deluge. During the Russo-Polish War (1654--1667), Vilnius was occupied by Russian forces; it was pillaged and burned, and its population was massacred. During the Great Northern War it was looted by the Swedish army. An outbreak of bubonic plague in 1710 killed about 35,000 residents; devastating fires occurred in 1715, 1737, 1741, 1748, and 1749.
Vilnius has been rapidly transformed, and the town has emerged as a modern European city. Many of its older buildings have been renovated, and a business and commercial area is being developed into the New City Centre, expected to become the city's main administrative and business district on the north side of the Neris river. This area includes modern residential and retail space, with the municipality building and the 129-metre (423') Europa Tower as its most prominent buildings. The construction of Swedbank's headquarters is symbolic of the importance of Scandinavian banks in Vilnius. The building complex Vilnius Business Harbour was built in 2008, and one of its towers is now the 5th tallest building in Lithuania. More buildings are scheduled for construction in the area. Vilnius was selected as a 2009 European Capital of Culture, along with Linz, the capital of Upper Austria. Its 2009 New Year's Eve celebration, marking the event, featured a light show said to be visible from outer space. In preparation, the historical centre of the city was restored, and its main monuments were renewed. The global economic crisis led to a drop in tourism which prevented many of the projects going ahead to their planned extent, and allegations of corruption and incompetence were made against the organisers, while tax increases for cultural activity led to public protests and the general economic conditions sparked riots. In 2011, Arturas Zuokas was elected Mayor.
Vilnius has access to groundwater, and there is no need to use extensive chemicals in treating surface water from lakes or rivers, providing residents with some of the cleanest and healthiest tap water access in Europe.
