Known for
The Angel of Užupis and the Fluxus Bridge on the Vilnia bank, past the old town.
A small republic by the river
Užupis
Užupis
Užupio, Paupio, Malūnų
The Užupis angel, the cat and the Fluxus Bridge mark the small republic across the Vilnia. St Bartholomew church stands by the river.
Why go
A short walk after the old town, better in daylight.
Where to stay
Sleep here for a quiet bank a few steps from Senamiestis. With a heavy suitcase and a first morning at the cathedral, the old town is the easier base.

The quarter beyond the Vilnia is small. The angel stands on the square, St Bartholomew's is by the water, and the Fluxus Bridge marks the way in. Look for the cat on a roof above Užupio Street.
