    Halės turgus

    Grab snacks and local treats at the main market hall. The east side has food stalls and eateries, perfect for a casual pre-sunset bite.

    Gate of Dawn

    Walk up to the Gate of Dawn. This is the last survivor of the walled city's nine gates. Arrive just before the sun dips below the horizon to see the stone facade glow in the fading light.

    Artistai

    Head to the large courtyard of Artistai pub. It is the perfect spot to relax, watch the sunset fully set, and enjoy the atmosphere. The service is friendly and there is often live music.

    Cozy

    Move on to Cozy for dinner and a nightcap. The laid-back restaurant upstairs serves hearty modern food with vegetarian options. If the mood strikes, head downstairs to the DJ-bar.
