Perhaps the most beautiful park in Vilnius. To be more precise - this is a botanical garden of Vilnius university with hundreds of species of plants and flowers. Its just adorable when everything blossoms. And it hosts some nice music concerts in the summer. We absolutely recommend to visit it, just bear in mind its somewhat distant location.
