Užupis Republic & Angel of Užupis
Best time to visit
Morning or late afternoon in spring and early autumn offers soft light and fewer tourists, ideal for photos and café seating. Avoid midday in peak summer when narrow streets get busy.
Budget tips
Free to explore the neighborhood and see the Angel; most galleries charge small entry fees of about 1–5 EUR, and cafés are pay as you go. Save money by joining a free neighbourhood walking tour or bringing snacks instead of dining at riverside restaurants.

About
Fakta singkat: Narrow cobblestone streets, colorful murals and a quirky constitution of 41 short articles make the neighborhood feel like a wink at serious city life, where locals celebrate art, free thinking and small eccentricities. A gilded winged sculpture stands over a tiny square, catching golden light at sunset and serving as an unofficial emblem for the area's playful spirit and lively street performances.
Sorotan: A tiny bohemian neighborhood famously declared itself a republic on April 1, 1997, and nails a 41-article constitution to a wall in over 20 languages, including English and Belarusian, with lines like "Everyone has the right to be unique" that locals recite during the annual celebration. Perched above a low bridge a gilded-winged angel blows a trumpet toward the river, its bronze gleaming in the spring sun while locals habitually touch the trumpet for luck and the air fills with the smell of strong coffee and the clack of bicycle chains.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, cobbled streets and uneven sidewalks require sturdy footwear.
- Head to the small bridge over the Vilnelė River for the best Angel of Užupis photos at golden hour.
- Read the multilingual Užupis Constitution on the wall near Paupio street for playful local insights.
- Visit on a weekday morning to avoid weekend crowds and check gallery opening hours before you go.
