Car Hire in Vilnius City - Mini guide to Vilnius City

Vilnius City is the European Capital of Culture for the year 2009 along with Linz in Austria. The capital city of Lithuania is home to a diverse mix of nationalities from the Baltic region, and this is reflected in the many tourist sites that are located all over the area. Travellers usually arrange for car hire in Vilnius City in order to easily get around.

The Old Town district, however, is best explored on foot. While you're in the district, park your car somewhere else and take a walk past the old churches and ancient buildings that have been built as early as the 13th century. Notable landmarks include Gediminas Castle which features a red brick tower that affords a great view of the city. Other viewing platforms are located at the Archcathedral Basilica's tower. St. Ann's Church is also worth a visit as it is considered one of the most beautiful gothic architectural masterpieces in the country. With a car rental in Vilnius City, you can also head for the Three Crosses Hill, another historical landmark best known for the site of the torture of the seven Franciscan monks by pagans.

From there you can also drive to the Contemporary Art Centre where you can view the best collections of art masterpieces by local and international artists. Historical artefacts are housed at the Lithuanian National Museum.

Further out, travellers can also take their cheap car hire in Vilnius City to the Centre of Europe to the north of downtown. This is really the centre of the continent as it is marked by the National Institute of Geography in France back in 1989. Outside the city, tourists can also head for other notable destinations such as the town of Trakai.
