Timeline
15:27
Grab a coffee and a pastry at Caif Cafe. It is just a seven-minute walk from the zoo entrance and opens at 08:00, so it will be ready for you well before the golden hour.
15:57
Walk into the Lithuanian Zoo in Ąžuolynas Park. The zoo opens at 10:00, so you have plenty of time to stroll through the renovated paths and find a quiet bench or fence post facing southwest.
16:27
Watch the golden light hit the trees and the sunset toward the southwest. The zoo grounds offer a sheltered, intimate view of the day ending without the crowds of the city center.
16:57
End the evening with a slice of pizza at PJazz. It is a fifteen-minute walk back from the zoo and stays open until 22:00 on weekdays, giving you time to relax after the walk.
Local tip
The zoo is open daily from 10:00 to 20:00. If you are visiting on a Friday or Saturday, PJazz stays open until 23:00, so you can linger longer over your meal.
