- The Quirky, Artistic Soul of Užupis: Cross the Vilnia River into the self-proclaimed independent "republic" of Užupis, a bohemian district with its own constitution, flag, and currency. Discover whimsical art installations, read the multilingual constitution plaques, and soak in the atmosphere of its cafes and galleries.
- A Deep and Multilayered Historical Tapestry: Delve into the city's complex past as a major center of Jewish life (the "Jerusalem of the North"), a Polish cultural hub, and a Soviet-occupied capital. Visit the Gate of Dawn chapel, the poignant Holocaust exhibition at the Tolerance Center, and the chilling KGB Museum in the former headquarters.
