Cathedral Square is the vibrant heart of Vilnius, where locals and visitors gather for concerts, markets, and national celebrations. Dominated by the neoclassical Vilnius Cathedral and its bell tower, the square features a prominent granite paving stone marking the site of the 1989 Baltic Way protest. Visitors can watch street performers, admire the cathedral's facade, or simply people-watch at a cafe. The square's open layout offers views of Gediminas Hill and the city's skyline.
