There is nothing like walking in the former ussr in winter ..the atmosphere is just right as it encapsulates the horrors of the past and the hard times these countries experienced

Very good view on Vilnius, but you get a good one also from Gediminas Tower, and the road to three crosses is steep and longer

this is a trip for people who likes phenomena. The Hills of crosses is really a small hill where people on a pilgrimage leaves small, medium, large crosses to plant on the hill or surrounding the hill. There are countless crosses and you can buy some at the entrance.

Looks nice from far or from the opposite hill with the tower on top. But actually going to the hill of three crosses, there isn't much there to do. The view from there is nice, but so is the view from the opposite hill where you get to visit the tower itself and the museum housed in it.

It really is a must do when you visit Vilnius. The view is excellent and the place is magic. Make sure your taxi waits or be ready to walk a bit!

The three crosses are exactly. Three large white crosses on a hill. There was a brief walk up the hill through a nice park to get there, and its not far from the Gediminas tower so its worth seeing them both at the same time. The hill gives you some nice views of the city, and the three crosses just... More

We climb the hill everytime we go to Vilnius as its a nice walk. This is the first time we have done it in winter with snow covered ground. Current construction by the tennis courts made it hard to find access to the bridge over the river. We followed the trail of sand on the snow along the edge of... More

This hill located about 500 meters from parking lot. Quite slippery when it rain, just be careful with your step. also you might want to use your comfortable shoes because it is quite a long walk to the hill. I must say this is quite challenging for older people. At the hill there is a statue of the Three Crosses.... More

We walked up here after a decent amount of snow so the steps were a little slippery but as long as you tread carefully its ok.its a steep but short walk and as long as u have a tourist map its pretty easy to navigate yourself up there. Beautiful view of Vilnius covered in snow and the river part frozen.... More

I was walking around with a map in my hand to find this attraction and I must say it isn't very easy to find, I was really just guessing going the right way. You have to walk up a hill (a road) through the woods to get there. First you see a stadion (I haven't figured out exactly what it... More
