1. Užupis bridge
The Užupis Bridge is a pedestrian bridge and the main entrance to the Užupis Republic. The bridge connects the districts of Senamiestis and Užupis. Passing through this bridge across the Vilnia River, you can access a unique and creative world. The railings of the bridge are decorated with love locks, which couples attach there as a sign of their love. This makes the bridge a personally important and romantic place for many. Under the bridge above the river also hangs a small swing on which people can sit, enjoy nature and take pictures.
