It is not known exactly when the city appeared in these places. At the same time, the first mentions date back to 1323. The Grand Duke of Lithuania Gedimin wrote that he was in the “capital city” of Vilna. Until 1795, this city remained the capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. After that, it became part of the Russian Empire and was part of it until 1915. At the beginning of the 20th century. it was the main settlement of Central Lithuania, then it was transferred to Poland. In 1939 Vilnius returned to the Lithuanian Republic of the USSR. During the Great Patriotic War, the city was occupied by German troops.

Most of the attractions are located in the Old Town, which is the largest in Eastern Europe. It stands on the left bank of the Neris River. There are 74 blocks with 70 streets. In the Old Town there are such well-known architectural monuments as the Gediminas' Tower, St. Nicholas Church, St. Anna's Church and a number of other buildings in the Baroque, Renaissance, Gothic and Classic styles.
