Two churches in Vilnius. Vilnius Cathedral has no online ticket listed; Church of St. Anne, Vilnius has no online ticket listed. The table and the two notes below put them side by side; the full pages have what to see, the ticket and the timing for each.
The cathedral and its free-standing belfry sit on the main square of Vilnius, and both are reached without booking. The church is free; the bell tower is ticketed and the ticket is sold at its base. Two other paid elements exist and are worth knowing about: the chapel of Saint Casimir is included in the church but often roped off outside service times, and the crypts under the nave are shown only on guided tours in small groups, usually booked ahead through the cathedral office.
Saint Anne's Church stands at the eastern edge of Vilnius Old Town, beside the larger church of Saint Francis and Saint Bernardine, and entry is free. It is one of the most beautiful Gothic buildings in the Baltic region and a symbol of Vilnius, and its red brick facade is among the most photographed sights in Lithuania. Walking tours of the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, always include it, together with the Cathedral, the Gates of Dawn, the university and the bohemian district of Uzupis, across the river nearby.
