Timeline
13:00
Grab a coffee at Caif Cafe. It opens at 08:00 on weekdays, so it is fully open by early afternoon. This is a good spot to start your walk while the city is still winding down from the morning rush.
13:15
Walk north from the cafe to Oak Grove. This 14-minute walk takes you from the city center into the shade of the mature oaks. Spend the next hour wandering the paths. The park is vast, so take your time breathing in the fresh air.
14:30
Botanical Garden of Vytautas Magnus University
Head southwest to the Botanical Garden of Vytautas Magnus University. This is a 64-minute walk from the anchor, so you might want to cut through the park or take a shorter route if available. Explore the extensive gardens and greenhouses established in 1923.
Local tip
The walk between Oak Grove and the Botanical Garden is quite long (over an hour). Consider checking local transport options if you do not want to walk the full distance. The Botanical Garden is a separate entity from the public park, so allow extra time for the transit between them.
