Exploring Vilnius's churches is always a delight, and this Christmas, travellers have the opportunity to enjoy them in an especially festive fashion. A handful of the capital's most evocative churches will be hosting Christmas concerts, beginning on Sunday, December 17th. Vilnius's proud Cathedral will host the final concert, which will be on Monday 8th January.
All concerts are free of charge, and they will be performed by a number of gifted Lithuanian ensembles - scroll downwards for some divine inspiration!
