- Rokiškis Manor (Rokiškio dvaras) & Manor Museum — The town’s showpiece: an 18th-19th-century manor turned museum. Walk through period rooms, see manor life displays and rotating exhibitions, and feel why the estate dominates Rokiškis’s history and skyline.
- Rokiškis Manor Park (Dvaro parkas) — Big old trees, a pond and peaceful paths that are perfect for a slow stroll, a picnic, or people-watching after the museum. It’s where locals actually hang out, not just a postcard backdrop.
- Town Hall and Market Square (Rotušė / Turgus) — The civic heart of town: an eye-catching town hall with the surrounding square full of benches, cafés and the small market. Real local life happens here, especially on market days.

- St. Matthew’s Church (Šv. Mato bažnyčia) — The main parish church with a striking interior and a bell tower you can crane your neck at from the square. A good spot to pause for architecture, quiet, and a look at local faith traditions.
- Rokiškis Synagogue & Jewish Heritage Sites — Rokiškis had a significant Jewish community; the synagogue building and nearby memorials and cemetery traces that history. Visiting is a respectful way to understand a big chapter of the town’s past.
- Local History & Ethnography displays — Small, focused exhibitions around town (often run by the regional museum network) that explain everyday life, crafts and traditions of the Rokiškis area. They’re compact but rich in real objects and stories.
- Rokiškis Cultural Centre (Kultūros centras) — Low-budget theatre, folk music nights, exhibitions and seasonal festivals happen here. Check their calendar: an evening performance is a great way to meet locals and hear live music without the tourist price tag.
- Historic Railway Quarter — Walk the old station area and warehousing buildings to see industrial-era architecture and how the rail shaped town life. Not flashy, but interesting if you like gritty, real places and photography.
- Local Market & Food Stalls — Small stalls and shops selling smoked fish, local cheeses (Rokiškis is in dairy country), breads and bakery treats. The market is where you sample the region’s flavours without a restaurant bill.
- Memorials, Sculptures and Small Parks — Scattered around the town are modest war memorials, public sculptures and tucked-away green pockets worth a slow walk. They give a layered, human feel to Rokiškis beyond the big sights.
