Lithuania Itinerary: Exploring Vilnius and Užupis is a total vibe!

Exploring Vilnius and Užupis is a total vibe — quirky art, ancient churches, epic local brews, and even a “republic” within the city. 🦄👀 If you’re all about mixing offbeat charm with historic beauty, this Lithuania journey is gold. Must-See Places in Vilnius & Užupis: 1. Špunka – Užupio g. 9-1, Vilnius. Chill at this iconic local bar (the craft beer scene here is fire). Open late most days, but pop in after 3 PM on a weekday for the best crowd. 2. Orthodox Church of the Holy Spirit – Vilnius 01304. Step inside between 7:00-19:30, and soak up the vibe of one of Vilnius’s most spiritual (and photogenic!) spots. 3. Angel Of Užupis – Užupio g. This whimsical statue is Užupis Republic’s symbol — it’s Insta-perfect and open all day. 4. Constitution of the Republic of Užupis – Paupio g. 3A. Read funky “laws” on the wall (like “Everyone has the right to be happy”). Browse any time; it’s totally open. 5. Orthodox Cathedral of the Theotokos – Maironio g. 14, Vilnius. Open 7:30 to 20:00, so swing by for both early-morning calm or a dusk stroll. 6. Church of St. Theresa – In the heart of Vilnius Old Town, don’t skip this Renaissance gem for some sweet architectural shots. Hot Tips: Hit up Špunka for local IPAs and chat with Vilnius’s artists (friendly energy, no tourist traps 🙌). Užupis is ultra walkable, safe, and open — roll with a camera or just take it slow. Public transport is smooth but honestly, walking these parts is the best hack. Bring cash for small bars and churches, but cards work most places. Food: Try cepelinai (Lithuanian potato dumplings) or grab street eats at Užupis food stalls. Weather: Pack layers. Even summer nights can be chilly. #vilniusvibes #užupisrepublic #lithuaniabestof #travelhacks #tripdotcom
