    Fortas

    Grab a bite at the original Fortas. It serves hearty pub-style food and is open late, so you can eat before the light fades.

    Railway Museum

    Walk up to the Railway Museum. Spend the last hour before sunset exploring the Prussian-era equipment and scale models on the second floor of the station.

  3. 16:23

    Railway Museum of Lithuania

    Step out to the viewing spot 17 minutes northwest of the museum. Watch the sun set toward the SW as the golden light hits the railway equipment.

    Cozy

    End the evening at Cozy, a 14-minute walk from the viewing area. The laid-back upstairs restaurant serves modern food, or you can head downstairs to the DJ-bar.

Local tip

The museum takes card only. Check the route if you need to walk back to the main station area after Cozy closes.
