Visit Bernardine Garden

Bedste tid at besøge

Late spring through early autumn (May to September) when the roses and flower beds are in full bloom. Come on a weekday morning for the most peaceful experience before the midday crowds arrive.

Budgettips

Entry is completely free every day of the year. Bring your own snacks for a picnic on the lawns, as the small on-site cafe can be slightly overpriced for what you get.

Om

Hurtige fakta: Beliggende langs Vilnia flodens bredder er dette rolige rum fra 1400tallet, da franciskanermunke dyrkede lægeurter her. I dag byder dets 8,5 hektar på over 8.000 blomstrende planter, en restaureret pavillon fra 1700tallet og en af byens mest fotogene promenader langs floden.

Højdepunkter: Kig nøje på havens smedejernsporte: de er originale smedearbejder fra 1700tallet, smedet af lokale håndværkere og bærer stadig deres mærke. På sommeraftener fyldes luften med duften af over 200 sorter gammeldags roser, plantet bevidst for at spejle klosterets originale apotekshave layout.

Insidertips

Enter through the decorative gate near the Bernardinų Church for the most dramatic first view of the gardens.
The best photo spot is the wooden footbridge crossing to the river island, especially during golden hour light.
Pack mosquito repellent in summer months, as the riverfront location makes the area prone to mosquitos at dusk.
Skip the main paths on weekends and explore the quieter upper terraces where locals read on benches under chestnut trees.
