Pilies Street in Vilnius Old Town once led from the gates of the Lower Castle to the Town Hall. It's now divided into two parts, becoming Didzioji Street from the Orthodox Church of St. Paraskeva. Its continuation from the junction at Subaciaus Street to Ausros Gate is Ausros Vartu Street.

Pilies Street is without doubt the most visited street by tourists in Vilnius. There are souvenir stalls and plenty of restaurants.

The street is one of the oldest in the city. Several picturesque streets with old buildings branch of to the right and left, and the street itself borders on the university campus. Of interest at the head of the street are several buildings with Renaissance features.
