Užupis
Often compared to Montmartre in Paris, Užupis is a self-declared 'republic' with its own constitution, president, and artistic soul. This bohemian enclave across the Vilnia River is packed with art galleries, quirky sculptures, and cozy cafes. It's a haven for creatives and free spirits who value community and independence.
