Our favourite book about Lithuania
Our friend, Columbia J. Warren, offers a fresh and personal take on exploring Lithuania in this thoughtful travel guide.
Married to a Lithuanian woman, Jūratė, Columbia originally wrote the first version of this book for their own wedding guests. Instead of listing typical tourist spots, he shares meaningful places and cultural insights based on personal experiences and local recommendations. Both Columbia and Jūratė will be at the wedding, making this guide an even more special part of the celebration!
The book is provided as an e-book in EPUB format, which can be easily opened directly in the Books app on your iPhone, iPad, or other compatible devices. A PDF version can be accessed here.
Lithuanian Traditions
In Lithuania, on the way to their wedding festivities, the newlyweds pass through several gates, represented here by handmade woven sashes. We wish them the best life together and honor their union by demonstrating that all obstacles will fall when faced together with love.
The parents of the bride and groom present newlyweds with a tray of bread, salt, and water. Bread symbolizes that the newlyweds will respect one another and the traditions and customs of each other’s families. Salt represents longevity and that life sometimes has its difficulties. Water represents vitality, flow, and is a reminder that things in life will always change for the best.
Children’s Entertainment
We will have a dedicated team to engage children during both the pre-wedding celebration and wedding reception, with games and supervised activities throughout the event. A room where children could fall asleep or have a quiet break will be available. There will be adult supervision (until 2:00 AM) at this communal resting area, so that the adults could continue to celebrate.

Our Favorite Places to Sip,
Savor & Soak in the City
While you're here for the wedding, we hope you'll have time to explore Vilnius not just through its sights—but also through its food. Whether you're in the mood for a slow brunch, dinner with a view, or a taste of local flavors, we've put together a personal list of places we genuinely enjoy and often recommend.
Feel free to explore at your own pace—we think you’ll love them as much as we do.
Restaurants (Michelin-guided)
Pas Mus
A 1‑Michelin‑starred tasting-menu gem in the heart of the Old Town. Cozy, minimalist and intimate — helmed by Chef Vita Bartininkaitė — it focuses on seasonal, locally foraged ingredients.

Cozy Places with Nice Views

Traditional Lithuanian Food Restaurants
Stiklių Rūsys
(Stiklių Taverna)
Located in the historic basement of the Relais & Châteaux Stikliai Hotel in Vilnius’ Old Town, Stiklių Rūsys offers a refined take on traditional Lithuanian cuisine. Dishes include cepelinai (potato dumplings), potato pancakes with salmon, wild game sausages, and their famous “moss ice cream”—all made with ingredients from their own farm in Dubingiai. The restaurant’s atmospheric setting, with its brick vaults and soft lighting, makes for a truly memorable dining experience.
Amatininkai
Situated directly on Town Hall Square, Amatininkai is a classic spot to taste hearty Lithuanian food in a warm and traditional setting. The restaurant offers a range of well-prepared, home-style dishes — from cepelinai (potato dumplings) and kepta duona (fried bread with garlic) to kibinai (pastries filled with lamb or beef) — alongside a strong selection of local beers. This is a favorite for both locals and tourists looking for an authentic taste of Lithuania.
Food Courts

For Exploring & Walking
A historic trio of fortifications (Upper, Lower & Crooked castles) from the 10th–18th centuries, perched where the Vilnelė meets the Neris river. The iconic Gediminas’ Tower, the lone survivor, stands 142 m above sea level. Climb to its summit for sweeping views and to see the Lithuanian tricolor hoisted each New Year’s Day . Today it’s part of the National Museum; exhibits inside the tower detail the castle’s history, Lithuanian statehood, and medieval defence .
Visitor tips: Accessible by a scenic walk or funicular. Check museum opening hours and combined ticket options.
A 12 m reinforced concrete memorial on Kalnai Park’s “Bald Hill” – a powerful symbol of resistance, remembrance, and national identity. Two legends surround its origins: one about 14 Franciscan martyrs in the 14th century, another linked to medieval self-governance. The present monument was designed in 1916, demolished under Soviet rule in 1950, and rebuilt in 1989. From the base’s viewing platform you’ll enjoy panoramic vistas of Vilnius Old Town, Bernardine Garden, and the rivers below.
Access: Open 24/7. Ideal for sunrise or after-dark visits, especially when the crosses are lit in special colors.
Vilnius’s largest park (≈160 ha), named after the river’s curve – just west of Old Town along the Neris riverbank. A true urban oasis: well-maintained trails for walking, running, cycling, roller-blading, and orienteering. In the park you can find a pond, playgrounds, cafés, and picnic & BBQ zones . A cultural hub with a central stage/amphitheatre that hosts major concerts and festivals – from Pope John Paul II’s 1993 mass to performances by Lady Gaga and fireworks events.
Open daily, 24/7, free entry.
Riverbank Walk along the Neris
A tranquil riverside promenade threading alongside Old Town. Perfect for a leisurely stroll, bike ride, or scoot. Discover hidden gems: under-bridge sculptures, café terraces, kayaking and boating activity, and a vibrant outdoor art gallery. Approx. 7 000 steps (~5 km), connecting Bernardine Garden, Gediminas Hill, and across to the Hill of Three Crosses via scenic paths. Ideal for relaxing, people-watching, or enjoying a riverside coffee. Check the route on Google Maps.
We usually recommend taking a hot air balloon flight over Trakai for its stunning views of the lakes and the iconic island castle. That said, several providers also offer flights directly from Vilnius, giving you the chance to admire the city’s skyline, Old Town, and green surroundings from the air.
Flights typically take place at sunrise or sunset, depending on weather. If you're interested, we recommend booking directly with one of the following reputable providers:
-
Hot Air Ballooning – Flights from Vilnius and Trakai, highly rated on TripAdvisor
-
Oreivystės centras – Offers private and shared flights, including romantic and VIP packages
-

Wedding Venue
Tony Resort
Tony Resort (previously Forest Lake Resort) in Trakai provides a stunning, natural setting for our wedding. Surrounded by lush forest and a peaceful lake, both the ceremony and reception will be held outdoors, allowing you to enjoy the fresh air and breathtaking views. The terrain is slightly hilly, so we recommend wearing comfortable shoes. While the paths are suitable for heels, flats or sneakers will be a bit more comfortable. As the evening progresses, it might get a bit cooler, so we suggest bringing a warm layer just in case. Expect a relaxed and scenic atmosphere, with nature taking center stage in the evening’s celebration.
The resort offers a range of amenities, including a lake beach, saunas, hiking trails, swamp paths, an adventure park, and more. Feel free to arrive early (with the first provided shuttle) and take full advantage of these activities. If you'd like to extend your stay at the resort, please let us know, and we’ll be happy to assist with the arrangements.
