Visit Vilnius

Famed for its fine architecture, the city of churches is benefitting from new air services and a luxury hotel. New direct flights have put Lithuania's capital Vilnius back on the short break map.
The old town was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994 for its abundance of preserved Gothic, Renaissance, baroque and classical buildings, as well as its medieval layout. Stroll around its squares and visit its majestic churches, synagogues and monastries.
The 13th Century Gediminas Castle has been restored to its former glory. Tour its museum and enjoy breathtaking views of the Old Town from its tower.
Discover disturbing facts about the Soviet occupation in the former KGB headquarters building; take in the 'Eavesdropping Room' with its secret surveillance, all of this can be found in the Museum of Genocide Victims.
On a brighter note a new luxury hotel, the Kempinski Hotel Cathedral Square, is set to open with 96 rooms, including 13 suites, in the heart of the Old Town. The hotel will have designer boutiques and galleries on its doorstep.
Regent Holidays are offering a short break of three nights including flights and accomodation in a three star hotel. For details call Travel Advisors on 01246 555777 or visit http://www.chatsworthtravel.co.uk/
