2025 Vilnius city municipality Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

It’s a small part of Vilnius that has a bit of its own culture and history. There are a few famous sites to see there, like the Uzupis Cat. When you walk up and down the streets, you can also see many small boutique shops and buy some items from there. It’s easy to get there from central Vilnius as many busses go there. Or you can just walk there. It’s good for half a day or a day if you have some free time while visiting the capital of Lithuania.

📅 Itinerary Day 1: Drive to Trakai and visit the castle on the lake, then make your way to Vilnius and arrive at your hotel. Day2: Visit Gediminas Tower (funicular wasn’t open when I went but the walk up wasn’t too bad if you’re fit). In this area you can also visit the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania and Vilnius Cathedral. Day3: Užupis Republic and Old Town (Gate of Dawn). Make sure you stop in an try some potato dumplings and beetroot soup at either Etno Dvaras or Bernelių Užeiga. Then head to Amor for an amazing range of brownies. 🏨 Accommodation - Mabre Residence 🍴 Food Recommendations - Etno Dvaras and Bernelių Užeiga, Flying Tomato Pizza and Amor Brownies 📌 Tips - Everything is easily walkable and make sure you eat some Lithuanian cuisine.

The name Vlnius will undoubtedly conjure a blank expression on many a person in the West. Which is a pity because this quaint, cosy and trendy city is a gem waiting to be discovered and appreciated for its vibrant cultural, architectural and historical heritage. Between every cobblestoned corner you will find a hole in wall cafe with unique brews and gastronomical offerings from the traditional Cepelinai (potato dumplings made with ground meat inside or mushroom or dry curd cheese), to the exotic historical Kibinai/Kibin which is a pastry filled with mutton and onion and originated from the ethnic Karaite settlers who were brought to Lithuania from Crimea during the Middle Ages. The city is compact enough to wander by foot or cheap enough to explore by bus (fares are under a euro on local council buses). Go and do yourself a favour and go off the beaten path…because Vilnius awaits.

#3月好去处2025 Vilnius, Lithuania is a world-famous tourist resort city, with thousands of tourists coming here every day for sightseeing and vacation. There are many attractions in Vilnius. This time I will introduce a very famous attraction in the local area: the Republic of Uzupis. Did you know that a group of artists in the world established a country on April Fool's Day? This is not a joke, nor is it performance art, but a real country. This fantasy "small country" - the Republic of Užupio is located in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. Užupio means "the other side of the river" in Lithuanian, so it is also called the Republic of Uzupis. The birth of the Republic of Uzupis originated from an April Fool's joke, but its significance far exceeds a simple joke. After Lithuania's independence in 1990, a group of artists chose to settle here. They transformed this place from a high-crime community during the Soviet era into the most avant-garde community in Lithuania. The artists were eager to create a utopia that would help people escape the troubles of modern life and return to a simple life, so on April 1, 1997, they officially declared the independence of Uzupis, using this unique way to challenge the various norms and restrictions of modern society.

Halės Turgus is Vilnius’ oldest and most vibrant market—perfect for a local food experience! Dating back to the early 1900s, it’s a lively spot where you’ll find everything from fresh produce and meats to artisan cheeses, pastries, and street food.Wine, clothes , households decoration item are as well available here. Quick Tips: • Best time to visit? Mornings 7am till 12pm for the freshest goods and fewer crowds. • Try local flavors like šakotis (tree cake) or Lithuanian smoked meats. • Cash or card? Most stalls take cards, but small vendors might prefer cash.

Known for its small, charming bridge, it connects Vilnius Old Town to this quirky district. Easily accessible on foot, Uzupis is just a short walk from the city center, crossing the Vilnia River.

#2024wish Exploring the Uzupis Art Incubator in Vilnius was an inspiring journey into the realm of creativity. The vibrant atmosphere pulsated with artistic energy as I immersed myself in the diverse works and creations of talented individuals. The Incubator's commitment to fostering artistic expression was evident in every corner, showcasing a kaleidoscope of mediums and styles. From avant-garde sculptures to thought-provoking paintings, each piece resonated with passion and originality. Engaging with the artists provided valuable insights into their creative processes, making the visit not just a visual feast but also an enriching experience. Uzupis Art Incubator serves as a testament to Vilnius's thriving artistic community, leaving an indelible mark on my appreciation for unconventional and boundary-pushing art. In 2024, I wish to visit Vancouver.
