If you’re eager to taste authentic Lithuanian food, this is the spot to go! I tried the Cepelinai (potato dumplings with filling), and it was so hearty and satisfying. The Šaltibarščiai (cold beetroot soup) was a refreshing start to the meal, and the Kepsta Duona (fried bread) was crispy, garlicky, and completely addictive. The cozy, rustic atmosphere of the restaurant just made the experience even better. Since it’s a popular spot, I’d recommend making a reservation to avoid waiting. You won’t regret it.

Standing tall in the heart of the Užupis district, the Angel of Užupis statue represents the area’s artistic spirit and independence. The vibe here is unlike anywhere else. It feels like a bohemian republic within the city. I loved walking around, discovering murals, sculptures, and quirky galleries. If you’re there on April 1st, you can experience Užupis Independence Day, a celebration like no other!

I wandered around the quirky Užupis district and stumbled upon the cute little Mermaid statue by the river. She’s small and easy to miss, but she adds so much charm to the area. There’s a legend that says she lures people to Užupis, and once you visit, you never want to leave. Honestly, I can see why. The whole area is filled with street art, galleries, and cozy cafés, making it a perfect spot to explore.

It’s a bit of incline to get to the top but really worth climbing. You’ll get one of the best panoramic views of Vilnius from up there. The monument itself has a rich history, adding a deeper meaning to the experience. Around sunset the lighting are perfect for photos. Highly recommend this to any nature lovers or photographers!

This museum is a treasure trove of Lithuanian history, covering everything from prehistoric times to the 20th century. The exhibits are well-curated and informative, so it’s easy to get lost in time while exploring. If you love history, you could easily spend a few hours here. Consider getting a combined ticket for the nearby museums to make the most of your visit.
