Antakalnis
Antakalnis
Antakalnis is one of the oldest historic districts in Vilnius, located along the banks of the Neris River. Travelers visit this area primarily for its historic architecture and the riverside paths that allow for walking tours away from the city's central bustle.
Getting There
The district is located just east of the city center. It is accessible via local public transport or by walking across the bridges spanning the Neris River. Depending on the starting point in the center and the mode of transport, the journey typically takes 15 to 30 minutes.
Time Allocation
A visit to this neighborhood generally requires 2 to 4 hours. This allows enough time to walk along the riverbank and explore the residential streets and historic sites within the district.
When to Visit
The area is suitable for visiting throughout the year, though the riverside strolls are most accessible during the spring and summer months. It does not typically experience the high crowd density found in the Old Town, making it a quieter alternative for sightseeing.

Visitors can combine a trip to this district with other sites in Vilnius. Depending on your transport options, you may consider visiting:
- Verkiai (4.5km)
- Naujoji Vilnia (7km)
- Church of St. Peter and St. Paul (8km)
- Šnipiškės (8.3km)
