Car Hire Vilnius - Mini guide to Vilnius

As the capital city of Lithuania, Vilnius is arguably the most popular travel destination in the country. But aside from being the centre of commerce in Lithuania, the city ahs also been considered the European Capital of Culture for 2009. The city is inhabited by various nations which makes it an interesting mix of different cultures from the region. This is also reflected in the many attractions that are located all over the city.

With a car hire in Vilnius, travelers can easily get around the city and visit some of its interesting sites. The Old Town, however, is best explored on foot. The area is dotted with old churches, and buildings that have been constructed as early as the 13th century. A greater part of the Old Town was originally a Jewish ghetto so most of the street names are still in Jewish.

Travelers usually start their tours with a visit to the Gediminas Castle which was erected in the 14th century. The Archathedral Basilica is also another notable attraction mostly because it offers the best view of Vilnius. Museums around the city such as the Lithuanian National Museum and the Museum of Genocide Victims are all accessible through a car rental in Vilnius.

Outside the city, travelers can take their cheap car hire in Vilnius for day trips to the town of Trakai which offers two castles and peaceful lakes as well as to Minsk.

Entry into the city is through the Vilnius International Airport which also serves as the main international gateway to the country. The airport offers flights to various cities in Europe.
