Presidential Palace of Lithuania

Located in the Old Town of Vilnius, this building serves as the official residence of the President of Lithuania. Originally established as a bishop's residence in the 14th century, the structure has undergone several reconstructions over the centuries. Visitors go here to view the architecture and the exhibitions hosted within the palace grounds.

Getting There

The palace is situated within the central Old Town district. If you are staying in the city centre, it is accessible via a short walk. Depending on your starting point, it typically takes between 5 and 15 minutes to reach on foot.

Duration of Visit

Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours to explore the palace and its immediate surroundings, depending on whether you are attending a specific exhibition or simply viewing the exterior.
