The hotel is situated in the old centre of the capital, which means that you will not need to drive when you wish to explore little ancient streets and enjoy the baroque architecture of the Old Town. A brief walk will take you to St. Ann’s church, a masterpiece of the late-gothic period, which, as the legend goes, made a deepest impression upon Napoleon Bonaparte, he even wished he could bring it on his palm back to Paris as a gift to his wife. From the Shakespeare Hotel, it takes only 7 minutes on foot to reach Gediminas’ Hill, at the bottom of which the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania has been re-erected. It is thought that the Palace of the Grand Dukes could be the place where Shakespeare’s works were read.
