O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: Ta botanični vrt, ki se razprostira na 7,5 hektarjih na obrobju Vilniusa, hrani več kot 10.000 rastlinskih vrst z vsega sveta. Njegov arboretum vsebuje največjo litovsko zbirko rododendronov, ki vsako pomlad eksplodirajo v morje rožnatih in vijoličnih cvetov.

Poudarki: Globoko v vrtnem arboretumu stoji starodavni hrast, star več kot 200 let, ki je desetletja starejši od samega botaničnega vrta. Krajevna legenda pravi, da dotik njegovega lubja na poletni solsticij prinaša srečo, in pogosto boste opazili majhne daritve, kot so rože ali kovanci, ki so jih obiskovalci pustili ob njegovem vznožju.

Notranji nasveti

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.
