Rather than following a fixed sightseeing script, we take time to observe, photograph, and experience the city at a slower pace, discovering contrasting sides of Vilnius. The route starts with panoramic views from above and a walk through some of Vilnius’s wild nature, continues through both the historic and modern sides of Užupis, and finishes in the unpolished, raw neighborhood of Naujininkai before looping back toward Vilnius Old Town.
