It costs you nothing, but a good deed is done :-)
When you find yourself in Vilnius, take a walk around Uzupis. This area of the city, which was captured by artists and organized their own republic there.
To get to the republic from the central part of Vilnius, you need to cross the river over the bridge. And after that you will find yourself in the world of artists, poets and other creators.
Uzupis does not occupy a very large area, but is very full of works of art, often strange. But the general impression of visiting the republic remains positive and even cheerful. It feels like creative guys have worked here.
Although it was in Uzupis that we first encountered one of the installations that shocked us in Vilnius. On some streets there were mannequins of disabled people without limbs, right on the asphalt. They caused unpleasant feelings. The maid of our hotel, when we asked about these strange mannequins, replied that

This seemed like a very strange reminder to us. My facial expression eloquently shows the emotions from such installations.
The rest of the impressions from Uzupis are a holiday! Take a walk along these streets, look at sculptures, read the inscriptions and signs and you will get a portion of good mood. And you can even touch your brain ;-)
