Luxurious Antakalnis

Although Antakalnis was built up with gray, identical houses during the Soviet era, which can give the impression of a dreary district when driving down Antakalnio Street, gold shines even in the ashes.

I invite you to get to know the palaces that provided Antakalnis with luxury one after another, their owners, and their intricate life stories.

Do you know where in Antakalnis there was a palace with glass ceilings and mermaids?

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 around for four centuries 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.

We meet at the monument to the Vileišis brothers at 5:30 PM on September 3rd.

P.S. The hike will take place in any weather.
