Šetnja kroz Vingio Parkas
Best time to visit
Late spring through early autumn (May to September) when the linden trees are in bloom and the open-air stage hosts concerts. Early mornings on weekdays offer solitary walks with just birdsong for company.
Budget tips
Entry is completely free every day of the year. Bring your own snacks and a blanket for an impromptu picnic, as the park cafes charge double what you would pay in the city center.

About
Quick facts: Walking through Vingio Parkas takes you past over 3,000 different tree species brought here from across the globe. Local families have picnicked under these centuries-old oaks since the 18th century, when the estate's owners first opened the grounds.
Highlights: Every summer, the park's open-air stage hosts the Vilnius Music Festival, where 15,000 people gather on the grass with candles and picnic baskets as orchestras play under the canopy of trees. The scent of blooming linden flowers mixes with evening dew as the final notes drift across the Vingis hill just before midnight.
