Baltasis tiltas, or White Bridge, is the bridge linking the districts of Naujamiestis and Šnipiškės. It offers beautiful views of the Neris River and, coming by Naujamiestis, also the skyscraper area of Šnipiškės.

2. Chiune Sugihara Sakura Park
Chiune Sugihara sakura Park is one of the most beautiful places in Vilnius in spring, where beautiful Japanese cherry blossoms bloom on the right bank of the Neris River. The park is dedicated to the Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara, who had saved thousands of Jews during the World War II. During the blooming period of the cherry trees, the park becomes a very popular place that attracts locals and tourists. It's worth remembering that the sakuras only bloom for about two weeks – usually in April or early May.

5. Walk in contrasting Šnipiškės
Šnipiškės is known for its contrasts. Here the Vilnius business center develops and skyscrapers stand, but there are still streets with wooden houses next to them and the peaceful atmosphere that dominates in them. Walking through the alleys of Kalvarijų street you have an interesting view of the area of old wooden houses with small gardens, where you can feel a peaceful way of life, in the background of which the modern high-rise buildings emerge. You can walk through the S. Fino, Giedraičių, Šilutės, Daugėliškio and Saracėnų streets for example.
