Gediminas’ Tower is the only tower of the Upper Castle that has remained until the present day. The Tower once had four levels, until now only three have been reconstructed.
Gediminas’ Tower is the all-time symbol of Vilnius. All armies of the occupying nations would try to put their flags at the top of the Tower. Today the flag of Lithuania can be seen there. It is not very easy to climb the hill. However, if you did not do it, it means you have not seen Vilnius. A great panorama of the city can be observed from the hill. There is a museum and an observation spot at the top of Gediminas’ Tower.

Getting to Gediminas’ Hill
Gediminas’ Tower is one of the most popular places to visit in Vilnius. Until now you had to take the long winding path to reach the Tower. It is rather strange to hear that only one in ten Vilnius inhabitants has climbed the hill. The government decided to do something about that and allocated two million litas for the construction of a funicular railway. Thus this year you can reach Gediminas’ Tower by means of this “train.” 
During archaeological investigations, the remains of nine people buried in the middle of the 17th century, an early Renaissance-style building as well as many ceramic plates, dishes, tiles, etc. were found at the foot of the Hill.
