Getting there

Public Transport

If you are in the Old Town area, head to the nearest bus stop, which is likely to be 'Vokiečių St.' or 'Didžioji St.' Catch either bus number 33 or 88. Ride the bus until you reach the 'Užupio' stop. Once you disembark, walk straight down Užupio Street, and you will find the 'Angel of Užupis' sculpture on your left after a short walk.

Walking

From the Vilnius Cathedral, head southeast on Gedimino Avenue towards the Cathedral Square. Continue straight until you reach the bridge over the Vilnia River. Cross the bridge, and proceed straight onto Maironio Street. Turn left onto Užupio Street, and the 'Angel of Užupis' will be on your right after a few minutes of walking.

Taxi or Ride-sharing

If you prefer a more direct route, you can use a taxi or ride-sharing service like Bolt or Uber. Simply enter 'Užupio g., Vilnius' as your destination. The driver will take you directly to the sculpture, and it should take around 10-15 minutes from most central locations in Vilnius.
