Timeline

Start your afternoon by wandering through Halės turgus, the main market hall of Vilnius. Built in 1906 and resembling a railway terminus, the east side is lined with food stalls and eateries. It is a lively place to soak in the local atmosphere.
12:30
Head to Cozy for lunch. This well-named place offers a laid-back restaurant upstairs where you can enjoy hearty modern food. There are a few vegetarian options available if you prefer.
13:15
Walk over to Artistai, a pub with a large courtyard that is a great place to relax. The service is friendly and there is often live music. It is a perfect spot to sit back and watch the afternoon light change.
