THE ESSENTIALS #28 - The Essentials of Vilnius City (Lithuania) by Meq
Essential Guide to Vilnius City (Lithuania) by Meq from Icu Productions
what you should do first, is buy "vilnius in my pocket" just to find everything easier ...
1. graff supplies. "nasa skateshop" is in the city center and it's the only real skate/graff/hiphop shop in Vilnius. you can find paint, magazines, markers, caps there ... it's in the yard of gedimino ave.39 (main avenue of vilnius)
2. place to see art. Contemporary Arts Center (vokieciu str.) for sure. there are some dope exhibitions of the modern art. you should check that for sure! it's near the city hall, so it shouldn't be hard to find it.
3. places to eat. there are few great places to eat here. my fav. is "mano kavine" (in english it would sound "my cafe"). it's also in the oldtown of vilnius, boksto str. ... it's kinnda hard to find it, but it's worth i ! "cafe de paris" (didzioji str. 1) is also one dope cafe. you can hear some djs play there from wednesday to saturday nights ... good atmosphere, good people...
4. places to party. first if you want to find a good party, go to www.ore.lt/kal.php and check for all good lithuanian parties list and then choose one or go to one of the clubs here in vilnius. there are only few good clubs here, it's "gravity" (jasinskio str.) and "intro" (maironio str.). both sometimes makes real shitty parties, so you better check what music will they be playing that evening.
5. place to stay. youth hostel in filaretu str. VERY cheap. you have to live with more people in one room, but it's the way to hook up with some dope people, it's interesting.
6. places to make art. the whole city. but watch out for cops, they will fine you hard if you're doing graff, but they'll only tell you to remove your pasted poster or sticker. in lithuania there is almost no street-art so they don't fine you for few posters or stickers.
7. places you must check out. of course the whole old-town, it's very pretty place, very good for street-art, good for partying and just for a walk to see what lithuanian people are like.
cheers ! Meq from Icu Productions
