There is more behind the street.
Follow courtyards into independent culture, creative spaces and neighborhood life.

Independent culture, courtyards, creative energy
Old stones, new energy and more courtyards than you'll count. Vilnius is small enough to walk and layered enough to slow you down.
Leave time between stops. The detours are the city.
Vilnius in motion

Neighborhoods
Where to spend the whole day, in collage.
The lay of the land
A picture map, not a navigation tool.
Start with a neighborhood.
Old Town for a first walk. Užupis for river edges and art. Naujamiestis for creative spaces. Paupys for a meal. Žvėrynas for a slower residential walk. Leave time between stops.
