Top Attractions in Vilnius
💡 Enter through the main gate on Universiteto Street and explore all 13 courtyards — each has a different character. The library's rare book room requires a ticket, but the courtyards alone are worth the visit.
💡 Go just before sunset for quieter crowds and warm light. The museum part is small; the real draw is the viewpoint.
💡 Bring bread for the swans and ducks on the pond. The café at the park entrance has decent coffee and is cheaper than Old Town joints.
💡 Read the Constitution Wall on Paupio Street. Visit on April 1st for Užupis Independence Day celebrations with free events and chaos.
💡 Free entry on the first Sunday of every month. Arrive early; queues can be long. The basement cells are the most chilling part — skip the overly curated top floor if short on time.
