Vilnius has tons to offer for those interested in active adventures, as well as those wanting to take a moment to relax and slow things down a bit. The latter should definitely make their way to the greenest place in Vilnius, Žvėrynas (meaning Menagerie). The district got its name in the 16th century when it was a large forest filled with game hunted by the famous nobleman Radvilos. Among locals, it was one of the best places for romantic walks and eventually became a resort suburb filled with spas and saunas in the 19th century.
Žvėrynas is different from every other part of Vilnius, and the architecture and the atmosphere still resemble the old days. Time slows down there, and a walk in this cosy district is like a therapy session: a cup of coffee while watching the Neris River flow, a breath of fresh air filled with the aroma of pine trees, and all kinds of greenery to soak in There are so many ways to discover Žvėrynas and find all of its perfect spots.
