Arrive early to wander the grounds and find a quiet spot near the south-facing glasshouses. The wide paths are perfect for a slow walk as the afternoon light lengthens.

Botanical Garden of Vytautas Magnus University
Stand in the southern part of the garden facing WSW. The setting sun casts a warm, golden glow through the glass and onto the foliage just as it touches the horizon.

Stay for the final minutes of daylight. The transition from golden light to twilight is gentle here, with the garden slowly quieting down for the evening.
Local tip
Check the route if you need to get back to the city center after dark. The garden closes at 21:00, so you have plenty of time to stay until the light fades completely.
