Quite majestic and awe inspiring. The front is massive with a gigantic open courtyard. Behind it is a huge, beautiful park inviting all to relax and enjoy the city. Brides having photos taken, chess being played. The fountain is lovely, the green lush foliage and trees bring a sense of serenity mid-city.

What can we say about the Palace? Normali. It's normal, nothing special. It's not exceptional, it's not awful. It's ok. The best part is the courtyard, which is not always open to the public. It's a nice place to walk through with your friend or significant other.

We were in Vilnius for three Sundays, and on two of them, we walked over to the Presidential Palace to be sure we would be there for the "Changing of the Flags" at noon. It's done with a bit of pomp, circumstance and pageantry and lasts about 10-15 minutes. Participating in the ceremony are soldiers of the Honor Guard Company of the Lithuanian Armed Forces dressed not only in ceremonial uniforms but also in medieval armament. As it was hot and humid when we attended, we felt that they must be so uncomfortable in those heavy uniforms. The soldiers carry the message that the present-day Lithuanian Armed Forces are guardians of the honorable centuries old history of the country.
There are no benches here, but plenty of shade under the tall trees on the grassy slope to the right. Standing there, you can still get a good view of the ceremony.

Tours are given only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and have to be booked in advance by phone or email. Each tour takes 45-60min and ours was in excellent English. You see all the main rooms in the palace - very attractive, light and airy. You also get a good bit of the history of Lithuania and of its presidents as well as information about how the presidency functions in relation to the parliament. Well worth the effort of booking.

Very close to the Cathedral Square (200 m) you’ll find the Palace by following the Universiteto gatvė to the south into the old town. There is a big square in front of the Palace which makes it easy to take good photos. Here you also can take part in national celebrations if you visiting Vilnius during any Lithuanian Public Celebration day. Sometimes the inner yard may be open for visitors, but with security controls as in airport and perhaps you will see the president’s honey bees which is a speciality for President Palace. The Palace is really worth a visit, because you are allowed to come so close to this beautiful building and when you have seen enough, you can just cross the street and visit the very old Vilnius University, also worth a visit.

We walked the streets around the palace area after having visited the University due to being curious as there was some sort of procession taking place and it appeared that important public figures were attending some function at the Presidential Palace. Because of this event it was impossible to enter the Presidential Palace grounds and we had to just enjoy it from afar. At least it was a nice looking building well set in this beautiful city.

If you plan visit Vilnius on Sunday you must visit the Flag Replacement Ceremony at Presidential Palace!
The Ceremony is very impressive: Guards of Honor in dress uniform replace the flags.
You can also see soldiers in fourteenth-century military dress.
During the ceremony you will start to hear the bells of the Bell Tower of Vilnius.
Everything together is a unique event that demonstrates the very unique side of Vilnius.

I passed thia building a few times before I realised it was the president's palace. I was expecting guards outside etc. Maybe because Vilnius is such a crime free city I didnt see any guards. The buildings surrounding it looked kind of similar so I was expecting the palace to pop. Nevertheless it's a beautiful building, and it is the resident and office of the Lithuanian president.

We really loved the design, and the beautiful lawn in front. The building was even prettier at night with the lights shining on it.

As you walk about Vilnius you‘ll certainly stumble across the Presidential Palace. An important building but not much to be seen and it can’t be visited. Have look and move on.
