Snabba fakta: A stark white silhouette crowns the hill, giving sweeping views that draw people at sunset to watch the city glow. Whispered legends about sacrifice and resilience lend a solemn hush, while wind through the grass makes the place feel surprisingly alive.
Höjdpunkter: On All Saints' Day people from across the city climb the hill to place votive candles at the foot of the three crosses, the hundreds of tiny flames bleeding into the mist like a slow, glowing constellation. From the viewpoint the three stark silhouettes slice the skyline, and at sunrise their pale faces flash warm gold for a few minutes while the air fills with wet grass and frying coffee from the streets below.
Insidertips
- Wear sturdy shoes and a windproof layer, the exposed hill can be chilly and the path uneven.
- Best photo spot is the western edge facing the cathedral and Old Town, arrive at sunrise or golden hour for silhouette shots.
- Avoid large tour groups by visiting before 9 am on weekdays or after 5 pm when buses usually leave.
- Take the small forest path from the hill's north side for a quieter approach and extra viewpoints.

Har du hört talas om gratis guidade vandringar?
Efter att ha rest till över 30 länder finns det en sak jag önskar att någon hade berättat för mig från början, och det förändrade helt hur jag upplever nya städer.
Gratis guidade vandringar. Ja, faktiskt gratis. Ingen kreditkort krävs. Inga fångster.
Lokal guide, 2-3 timmar
Stora sevärdheter, dolda pärlor, lokala historier
100% dricksbaserat
Guider tjänar endast dricks, så de ger sitt absolut bästa
Du ger dricks efter eget tycke
I slutet ger du bara dricks efter eget tycke
Jag har gjort dessa i dussintals städer och de har varit höjdpunkten på nästan varje resa. Om du besöker Vilnius, Lithuania, gör detta din första dag. Du kommer att tacka mig senare.
