Reformatų (Reformators) Park

Reformatų Park (Reformatų skveras) is a peaceful, recently renovated green space in central Vilnius, just north of the Old Town near Gedimino prospektas. Visitors love it as a calmer alternative to the city's busier parks, praising the contemporary design, the plentiful benches and the unusual free hammocks. Two modern playgrounds — one for toddlers, one for older children — make it especially popular with families.

The park's contemporary feel sits on layers of history. It occupies the site of a 16th-century Evangelical Reformed cemetery that was destroyed during the Soviet era, and today the outlines of a former church, chapels and other historic buildings are picked out in distinctive paving, inviting you to read the archaeological past straight from the ground. It's a thoughtful, quietly moving touch that rewards a slow wander.

Practical amenities are good for a city park: drinking fountains, public toilets and an on-site café. It's an easy stop on a walk between the Old Town and the New Town, whether you want a shaded rest, a spot to let kids run, or a few minutes in a hammock. The park is open and free to enter.

Where it is
