Timeline

    Žalgirio Arena

    Arrive at Žalgirio Arena. It is the largest indoor arena in the Baltics and a striking piece of modern architecture. Take a moment to look at the exterior and feel the scale of the building.

  2. 10:05

    Akropolis

    Walk five minutes ENE to Akropolis. The mall opens at 10:00, so you will be there just as the doors open. This is the quietest time to browse the multi-story space before the lunch rush.

  3. 10:20

    Sotus Svečias

    Grab a snack or light lunch at Sotus Svečias inside Akropolis. It is open from 08:00 to 20:00 daily. Arriving early ensures a relaxed seat and avoids the midday queue.

  4. 11:00

    Žalgirio Arena

    Head back towards Žalgirio Arena. The walk is short and straightforward. Use the remaining time to rest or browse the mall’s exterior if the weather is pleasant.

Local tip
