What to expect
Vilnia River
Discover the heart of Vilnius through the winding and picturesque Vilnios River, affectionately known by locals as Vilnelė. This river, which bestowed its name upon the capital, is a beloved spot where poets find inspiration, giggling children chase ducks, and blushing lovers enjoy romantic dates. The river's winding, rocky, and dynamic character makes every visit a unique experience.
Uzupis
Užupis, district in Vilnius, separated from the Old Town by the Vilnelė River. Once a troubled area in the early 1990s, Užupis has blossomed into a vibrant neighborhood of artists, intellectuals, and entrepreneurs. On April 1, 1997, the residents whimsically declared independence, creating their own republic complete with its own currency, anthem, and constitution, embodying a truly free spirit. Crossing the river of Vilnelė'the best way to enter and discover this bohemian enclave.
On our way we get under 6 bridges of Vilnelė. The place under the Užupis Bridge inviting to try the Swing of Destiny andgreet the Mermaid of Užupis. Eeach of Vilnelė bridge offering picturesque views and has a stories to tell. .
In the heart of Vilnius, at the junction of Gediminas Castle Hill, the Vilnelė River, and the Bernardine Monastery, the Bernardine Gardens offer a cozy and vibrant escape. This small yet richly adorned garden is filled with a diverse array 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 majestically 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.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
