The Neris riverside route

Embrace the Neris with your eyes from both banks

Peace comes from many things; for many, nature plays first fiddle. Ride along the banks of the Neris, open up to the beauty of three beaches, and consciously return to your inner self.

The route embraces the Neris from both banks and is designed for those who want a relaxing ride. It includes three beaches, the green Sapieha Park, which protects Vilnius’ oldest linden tree, and the Colourful Springs in Antakalnis. The banks of the Neris have no barriers protecting you from the water, so this route is not recommended for small children.

Suggested direction: the Cathedral–Gedimino Ave.–Žvėrynas Bridge–the right bank of the River Neris Upės g.–Žvejų g.–Olimpiečių g.–Neries g.–Kareivių g. bridge–bicycle path through the Colourful Springs (Spalvotų šaltinių) Park–P. Vileišio g.–Sluškų g.–T. Kosčiuskos g.–Arsenalo g.–T. Vrubleskio g.
