Naujamiestis (New Town)

Naujamiestis hugs the southern half of Gedimino prospektas and stretches toward the rail yards, mixing 19th-century apartment blocks with factories reborn as cafes, galleries, and startup hubs. It is Vilnius's creative engine in transition, where daily local life collides with experimental nightlife and culture.

Essentials
  • Gedimino prospektas shifts into J. Jasinskio, Pylimo, and Mindaugo streets here, all covered by frequent bus and trolleybus routes.
  • Expect active construction and occasional street closures as warehouses turn into offices, hotels, and housing.
  • Street parking is scarce around the creative quarter, so residents rely on shared garages or residential permits.
