One of the attractions of Vilnius is its historical and religious component. Strolling through the old town, the group will see a surprising number of churches, each of them boasting very different architectural styles. Vilnius Cathedral is a white serene temple in an extensive square. St. Catherine Church is a heavily reconstructed church painted in cute pastel colors. But nearby the group will find St. Anne's Church, a striking example of 15th-century Gothic architecture. It was built with 33 different types of bricks and, inside, its large stained-glass windows create a heavenly atmosphere. In the old town, tourists can also visit the streets of the old Jewish Ghetto, see ancient synagogues and learn about the struggles of this community, especially during WWII.
