Open Gallery
Street art oasis
"Open Gallery" has filled up the void left by Vilnius Street Art Festival nicely; it's constantly changing & growing. I recommend entering from Panerių st.

Local Pub
Everyone's a local here
"Local Pub" in Vilnius is somehow always full. There must be something special in the atmosphere, the bartenders and visitors. It's just so friendly, too!

Juodas Šuo
Secret bookstore
"Juodas Šuo" is a secret bookstore in Vilnius, in an apartment from the early 20th century! They sell only second-hand books, which I love of course...

Loftas
Best gigs in town
"Loftas" in Vilnius is literally one of my favorite local clubs. It connects the very best of industrial loft cultures and the intensity of our nightlife.

Halės market
All sorts of goodies
"Halės Market" in Vilnius is one of the best out there, and the oldest one in the city. I go there at least twice a week for the veggies and tasty buns!

Šnekutis at Mikalojaus
Lithuanian beer heaven
"Šnekutis at Mikalojaus" in Vilnius is named after one of the most famous characters related to traditional Lithuanian beer drinking - how can it be bad?

Italala Caffè
Coffee on swings
"Italala Caffè" in Vilnius is a great coffee shop with a variety of coffees. I love it for working, for the simple cappuccino and of course the swings!
