Palace and museum

The rebuilt palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania in the Lower Castle of Vilnius, next to the Cathedral. The museum is divided into four routes: the development of the residence, with authentic walls and archaeological finds; recreated Gothic, Renaissance and early Baroque interiors with furniture, tapestries, paintings and an observation tower; weaponry, everyday palace life and music; and an exhibition center. The courtyards and the Renaissance Garden can be visited without a ticket. Allow 2–3 hours for all the routes; you can also buy a ticket for a single route. There are elevators, platform lifts and audio guides. Closed on Mondays (except in summer); admission is free on the last Sunday of the month.
