Užupio konstitucija

On a long wall along Paupio Street, in the bohemian Vilnius district of Užupis, the 41 articles of the Constitution of the Republic of Užupis are engraved on mirrored metal panels and reproduced in dozens of the world's languages. Part street-art installation, part tongue-in-cheek bill of rights, it is the manifesto of a self-declared micro-republic that insists everyone has the right to be happy, the right to be lazy, and that a dog has the right to be a dog. Written in just three hours in 1998 by two of Užupis's founding artists, Romas Lileikis and Tomas Čepaitis, the charter turns the neighbourhood's free-spirited ethos into a playful set of laws. It rewards the casual, reflective visit: reading the articles standing at the wall, then following them along the lane toward the Angel of Užupis, is the core experience.

Kazickų rezidencija

Tucked away on Šv. Jono gatvė, deep in the heart of Vilnius Old Town, the Kazickas Residence (Kazickų rezidencija) is one of the city's most quietly grand historic addresses. The restored palace sits on the grounds of the long-vanished Radziwiłł (Radvila) magnates' residence, right beside the soaring St. John's Church and a short walk from Vilnius University, Pilies Street and the hilltop castles of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania. This is not a museum with turnstiles but a private family home turned elegant event venue, and its story reads like a romance. Lithuanian-American businessman and economist Dr. Juozas Petro Kazickas bought the building in 1999 and spent years restoring it in the spirit of a 19th-century Lithuanian aristocrat's palace — as a gift to his wife Aleksandra for their 60th wedding anniversary.
