Om

Hurtige fakta: Spredt over 7,5 hektar i udkanten af Vilnius huser denne botaniske have over 10.000 plantearter fra hele verden. Dens arboret indeholder Litauens største samling af rhododendron, som eksploderer i et mylder af lyserøde og lilla blomster hvert forår.

Højdepunkter: Dybt inde i havens arboret står et gammelt egetræ, der er over 200 år gammelt, flere årtier ældre end selve den botaniske have. Lokal siger, at det bringer held at røre ved dets bark på sommersolhverv, og man vil ofte se små ofringer som blomster eller mønter efterladt ved dets fod af besøgende.

Insidertips

Bring a picnic and claim one of the wooden benches near the pond, easily the best lunch spot on the grounds.
Skip the main paths and explore the quieter sections near the back of the arboretum where the oldest trees stand.
Visit after a light rain when the scents from the herb garden are strongest and the flower colors appear more saturated.
Wear comfortable walking shoes, the gravel paths stretch farther than they look and you'll want to explore every corner.
