- Vilnia River - Explore the essence of Vilnius through the meandering and scenic Vilnia River, fondly called Vilnelė by the locals.
This river, which gave its name to the capital, is a cherished spot where poets draw inspiration, children gleefully chase ducks, and couples enjoy romantic moments.
The river’s winding, rocky, and lively nature ensures that each visit is a unique experience.
- Uzupis - Užupis, a district in Vilnius, is separated from the Old Town by the Vilnelė River. Once a troubled area in the early 1990s, Užupis has transformed into a lively neighborhood of artists, intellectuals, and entrepreneurs.
On April 1, 1997, the residents whimsically declared independence, creating their own republic with its own currency, anthem, and constitution, embodying a truly free spirit.
Crossing the Vilnelė River is the best way to enter and explore this bohemian enclave.
- Bridge of Uzupis - On our journey, we pass under six bridges of the Vilnelė. The area beneath the Užupis Bridge invites you to try the Swing of Destiny and greet the Mermaid of Užupis.
Each bridge over the Vilnelė offers picturesque views and has its own stories to tell.
- Bernardine Gardens - Located in the heart of Vilnius, at the intersection of Gediminas Castle Hill, the Vilnelė River, and the Bernardine Monastery, the Bernardine Gardens provide a cozy and vibrant retreat.
This small yet richly adorned garden is filled with a variety of plants, echoing laughter, and stories.
Challenge yourself to find the oldest oak in Vilnius—here’s a hint: it has a diameter of 1.5 meters and stands proudly in a corner of the park near a bridge.
This ancient oak, like the park itself, has witnessed centuries of history and continues to welcome visitors with open branches.
