If you are staying in Vilnius for a day or two, Pilies Apartments are a brilliant alternative to a hotel. The apartments are the converted ground and first floors of a three-storey family home, run by a friendly English-speaking empty-nester, and have everything you could possibly want on a bike trip and more. The house is hidden away in a courtyard behind heavy wooden gates, completely screened from the street and provides perfect secure parking. Although the apartment is self-catering, Pilies g. is lined with lively bars and restaurants, and the low cost of eating out makes it pointless even boiling a kettle.
