Lots of lovely little streets and alleyways. Wall to wall churches, lots of posh shops, nice restaurants and bars with ouside areas. Vilnius Gatve has some great bars on it. Piles Street is the heart iof the old town and has some lovely but pricey restaurants.
Lots of churches. University buildings and grounds. The castle on the hill. No need for public transport. Easy to walk.
