Gediminas Tower

We walked away little further and climbed up the Gediminas Tower which stands as a symbol of Lithuanian independence. In fact on one of the floors of the museum inside they have a display dedicated to the Baltic Way when many thousands of people from all three Baltic nations formed a single human chain to link their three capital cities in 1989 in defiance of Soviet occupation. They were free by 1991. From the roof of the tower we got some good views of Vilnius below.
