Have you read ‘Silva Rerum’, ‘Vilnius Poker’ or ‘Tūla’? Wondering where the heroes from Adam Mickiewicz’s novels or Jurga Ivanauskaitė’s protagonists hang out? This route is for those for whom literature is a source of inspiration and discovery.
The route invites you to get to know the capital’s literary sites – the streets, squares, and buildings that inspired writers who have written in Vilnius or about Vilnius, or given their characters a home here, or who chosen Vilnius as the setting for their works. Excerpts from the authors’ texts will accompany the journey, allowing you to immerse yourself in visions of a different – literary – Vilnius. The city as a place of action, the city as a space for spiritual experiences, and the city as an object of love – you will find it all here. After a few hours of walking, your list of Vilnius literature will be filled with new works that you will definitely want to read, and maybe you will be inspired to pen something yourself in homage to our city.
