Vilniaus universiteto Zoologijos muziejus
Arrive at the Vilniaus universiteto Zoologijos muziejus. Since the museum requires advance booking by phone, use this time to confirm your appointment or simply admire the exterior architecture in the quiet morning light.
16:50
Walk five minutes to Fėjų kepyklėlė for a pastry or snack. The bakery opens at 07:30, so it will be open and ready for you well before the golden hour begins.
17:20
Head to the Gate of Dawn. This historic gate is the last survivor of the walled city's nine gates. Spend some time looking at the chapel and the icon, enjoying the atmosphere before the evening crowds arrive.
17:50
Move to Artistai pub. The large courtyard is a great place to relax and watch the sunset. It is open until 24:00 on Sundays, or until 01:00 on weekdays, so it will be open. Enjoy the live music and friendly service as the sun sets toward the WSW.
18:50
End the evening at Cozy restaurant. Just a short walk away, this laid-back spot serves hearty modern food with vegetarian options. It is open until 01:00, making it a perfect late dinner spot after the sunset.
Local tip
The Gate of Dawn is a significant religious site; dress respectfully. Artistai's courtyard is the best spot in this cluster for sunset views.
