Timeline
15:08
Arrive at Artistai pub. The large courtyard is the perfect spot to relax and watch the day wind down. Order a drink and enjoy the friendly service before the crowds arrive.
15:38
Walk the short distance to the Gate of Dawn. This is the last survivor of the walled city's nine gates, now straddled by a chapel with a large icon. Find a quiet corner in the courtyard or near the gate to wait for the light to change.
16:23
The sun sets toward the SW, casting a final glow on the historic stone of the Gate of Dawn. Stay for the last few minutes of light.
16:53
Head to Dėvėti, a gastropub just steps away. It serves pizza and pita bread sandwiches, a easy way to end the evening after the chill of the sunset.
Local tip
Artistai offers live music and a great courtyard atmosphere. Dėvėti is more of a bar with casual food, perfect for post-sunset winding down.
