Užupis
Explore the artist-associated district on foot, with time for the river and public spaces. Treat residential entrances and studios as occupied places.
Details / sourceA walk beyond the postcard
Choose a longer walking route from the city tourism guide. Look for landscape and neighborhood changes as you leave the Old Town.
Details / sourceDo’s, don’ts, FYI & DIY
DO: ask before taking a portrait
A public street is not permission to turn another person into your content. Let the encounter happen first.
Details / sourceDON’T: assume a courtyard is public
Check signs and entrances. People live and work in the places that make the city interesting.
Details / sourceDIY: one district, three stops
Choose a walk, one cultural visit and one meal. Leave time between them for the city itself.
Details / sourceQ&A: how do I get around?
Use JUDU for current routes and tickets. Check how your ticket must be activated rather than assuming every payment method works the same way.
Details / sourceFYI: museum access
Check the specific museum’s admission policy. A special free day does not automatically cover every museum or temporary exhibition.
