Vilnius is one of the few European capitals that lets a hot air balloon drift directly over its own cathedral spires, and that single fact does more for a couple’s itinerary here than any list of restaurants ever could. A flight over the spires, if the season is right Balloons launch from Vingis Park or the riverside at Valakampiai and climb over the Neris and the Old Town’s church towers, usually twice a day, at dawn and again around golden hour.
