Mean Teeth - City Finest – Vilnius, Lithuania

Gediminas Castle

Not much of a castle left nowadays, just a tower on top of a hill, but without a doubt it’s the symbol of Vilnius. Legend says, Grand Duke Gediminas dreamt of an iron wolf, howling like a 100, atop the hill that the tower now resides on. The duke took it as a sign that he should build a city here and so he did, resulting in Lithuanian capital – Vilnius.

Cathedral Square

Vilnius isn’t really known for its grandiose buildings, yet our cathedral square has always felt rather massive to me personally. It’s the dead centre of the city, easily recognisable and around 240 years old – definitely one of the most beautiful places Vilnius has to offer.

The White Bridge

Connecting the old town to the business centre, it’s not so much about the bridge itself that makes it remarkable, but rather what’s around it. Currently undergoing an ambitious renovation, the area around the bridge is set to host a skatepark, numerous outdoor volleyball and basketball courts, a rollerblading track, a gorgeous terrace overlooking the river and the old town, a park and best of all, the newly opened club TIltas, situated just underneath the bridge. Tiltas is a club that stays true to rave culture while keeping it classy and professional. 

Vingis Park

Situated in the middle of a full-blown forest, this park venue has seen things others can only dream of. Thousands upon thousands of people, young and old, singing in unison, the biggest local stars and even the likes of Kygo, David Guetta, Lady GaGa and many more have performed here. The park offers a range of activities, from cafes, to rollerblading. It even has its own amusement park!

The Old Town of Vilnius

The most beautiful part of Vilnius to me is undoubtedly the old town. Narrow streets give way to historical buildings, secret passages lead to cosy dining places, churches marble roads and lots and lots of greenery. There’s a lot to see here, but it never feels like the city is rushing you to move. On the contrary, Vilnius feels very inviting and welcoming, just waiting for you to dive in and explore.
