Vilnius, Lithuania 🇱🇹: A Baltic Tapestry of Churches & Art

Big cities are known to dazzle with skyscrapers, not forests- hence why they create green oases in the shape of parks and gardens. Vilnius is a truly green city, where man-made parks easily blend into natural reliefs. The Bernardine Gar-dens are located in the very heart of the city, at the junction of Gediminas Castle Hill, Vilnelė river and the Bernardine Monastery. It is small and cosy, while rich in plants, resounding laughs and entertainment. With plenty kinds of flowers, shrubs and trees- all well looked after and carefully marked, so that you always know what plant it is by glancing at an accompanying plaque. Can you find the oldest oak in Vilnius? We shall give you a hint- it is 1.5 m in diameter and looms in a corner of the park near a bridge. The tree, just like the park itself, has seen a lot, yet nevertheless welcomes visitors with pleasure. All that come will be welcomed by not only nature, but also playful fountains (one of which even flows to music), chess tables and a playground for the kids. Take a walk in the shade of trees, have a break on a bench or, during the summer, a lie down on the grass. Now, that’s what we call rest. And since rest is something one can never have enough of, head over to the next oasis- Vingis Park, found in 4000 steps.

If you travel to Lithuania with a child or have moved here with one this is the spot! Awesome walking trail along the Vilnia River the connects to this park. Two different playgrounds have different size equipment for different ages and both are really entertaining and engaging. The rest of the park has fountains and lovely green space. There are also sculptures like much of Vilnius but these are huge, which my kid found enchanting. Then if you want to pop over to an ice cream spot for a treat there are a couple of options right by the park. I could spend hours and hours here with my kiddo.

Our park is nice at any time of year. You can study the cycles of plants in the flower beds or admire them. In the spring, many trees bloom, in the summer they create shade, and in the fall they are painted in different colors. You can relax or play with children and your pet on the lawns. There are bags for walking. In the summer, you can sit by the fountain or feed the ducks in the pond or in Vilnele. Our son first played on the playground for younger children, now for older ones. Sometimes there are concerts in the park.

This is a lovely large park and a good spot to relax. There’s loads of flower displays throughout which are well kept, some nice water features and plenty of benches. It’s a delight for the whole place to be tidy and clean, including the river which runs along the rear. If you walk right the way through you eventually exit by a lovely church and an interesting area of the Old Town. On a nice day this is a great place to visit and spend some time.

The park is a hidden gem - a beautiful and peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The small river running through it adds to its charm, and the snow only adds to the picturesque atmosphere. It's a great place for a leisurely stroll, picnic, or just to sit and enjoy the tranquility. Whether you're looking for some alone time or a place to bond with family and friends, this park is a must-visit.
