Vilnius's Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, centers on Cathedral Square and Gediminas Castle, where narrow cobblestone streets connect Renaissance and Baroque buildings like the Church of St. Anne and the Town Hall. The Užupis neighborhood, east of the Vilnia River, functions as an independent artistic district with street murals, galleries, and cafés along Paupio Street and Užupio Street. Gediminas Avenue runs north from the Old Town through the modern business district, lined with shops, restaurants, and the National Museum of Lithuania. The Jewish Quarter, historically significant and partially reconstructed, includes the Vilna Gaon Museum of Jewish History and memorials marking the former ghetto boundaries. Trakai Castle, a 15th-century fortress on an island in Lake Galvė, sits 28 kilometers west and remains one of Lithuania's most visited monuments.
