Lukiskes Square, the largest in Vilnius, traces its origins to the 17th century when this area was a tranquil, rural setting with wooden houses. Over time, the square has been integrated into the urban fabric, now bordered by Gediminas Avenue and situated near the baroque Church of St. James and St. Philip. Today, visitors can stroll through the expansive space, surrounded by the city’s bustling energy and historical landmarks, offering a blend of greenery and urban life in the heart of Lithuania’s capital.
