Užupis

Užupis is Vilnius’s small, bohemian district, set just across the Vilnia River from the Old Town. Known for its creative atmosphere, galleries, street art, and cafés, it has a distinct identity shaped by local artists and its playful self-declared “Republic of Užupis.” Visitors come for a quieter alternative to the main tourist streets, with a mix of historic architecture and contemporary culture. If you enjoy walkable neighborhoods with character, local art, and an unconventional spirit, Užupis is one of Vilnius’s most interesting areas to explore.
