Although Antakalnis was built up with gray, identical houses during the Soviet years, which can give the impression of a dreary district when driving along Antakalnio Street, gold shines even in the ashes.
I invite you to get to know the palaces that have provided Antakalnis with luxury, their owners, and their complex life stories.
Do you know where in Antakalnis there was a palace with glass ceilings and mermaids in them?
And who do we have to thank for the fact that the Lithuanian language is spoken in Vilnius?
Or perhaps you know where the elephants that have been counting their fourth century live in Antakalnis?
It is hard to imagine and describe how many curiosities this wonderful district of our city hides.
Prepare for a serious walk along both paved paths and winding forest trails.
You will return home enriched with knowledge and having strengthened your heart and leg muscles.
Get ready for fun company and a meaningful walk.
We meet at the monument to the Vileišis brothers, at the beginning of T. Kosciuškos Street, at 11:00 AM, on August 1st.
