The Liepų alėja, an avenue of small lime trees that stretches between the park's event stage and the 7.5-hectare Vingio section of the Vilnius University Botanical Garden, is simply breathtaking.

A summer spa house was built here in 1857 on the initiative of the military governor of Vilnius, V. Nazimov, and the large park created at that time still gives the place a special flair today. For cyclists and nature lovers alike, this location offers a perfect opportunity to experience Vilnius' urban culture in a relaxed and natural environment.
