About
The lighting of the Christmas tree in Cathedral Square is how Vilnius opens its winter season, and the tree has become a symbol of Christmas across Lithuania. Kids get to see the lights come on in the middle of the Old Town. Missed lighting night? The tree stays up through the holidays, so it still makes an easy stroll with kids on any visit to the Old Town.
