Lithuania Vilnius Užupis Bridge and Locks
Užupis means on the other side of the river in the Lithuanian language and refers to the Vilnia River; the name Vilnius was derived from the Vilnia. The district has been popular with artists for some time, and has been compared to Montmartre in Paris and to Freetown Christiania in Copenhagen, due to its bohemic and never-mind atmosphere. On April 1, 1997, the district declared itself an independent republic (The Republic of Užupis).

Užupis is a neighborhood in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, largely located in Vilnius' old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Užupis means the other side of the river in the Lithuanian language and refers to the Vilnia River; the name Vilnius was derived from the Vilnia. The district has been popular with artists for some time, and has been compared to Montmartre in Paris and to Freetown Christiania in Copenhagen, due to its bohemic and laissez-faire atmosphere. On April 1, 1997, the district declared itself an independent republic (The Republic of Užupis). Since the first of November 2014 Jaap van Ark is president of republic Užupis. Užupis is quite small and isolated, being only about 148 acres (0.60 km2) in size; it has around 7,000 inhabitants, nearly 1,000 being artists. On one side it is separated from the Old Town by the Vilnia River, on the second there are steep hills, and on the third side it borders on an industrial area built under soviet rule, which is now to be rebuilt into a fashionable district. The first bridges across the river were built in the 16th century, at which time the district's inhabitants were mostly Jewish. In 1997, the residents of the area declared the Republic of Užupis, along with its own flag, currency, president, cabinet of ministers, a constitution written by Romas Lileikis and Thomas Chepaitis, an anthem, and an army (numbering approximately 11 men).They celebrate this independence annually on Užupis Day, which falls on April 1. Artistic endeavours are the main preoccupation of the Republic; the former President of the Republic of Užupis, Romas Lileikis, is himself a poet, musician, and film director.
Artūras Zuokas, a former mayor of Vilnius, lives in Užupis and frequently takes part in the Republic's events. Užupis does not house internet-cafes, kiosks, big malls, or governmental institutions (except Užupian), and there is no embassy to Lithuania.It is unclear whether the statehood of the Republic, recognized by no government, is intended to be serious, tongue-in-cheek, or a combination of both. The decision to place Užupis Day on April 1 (April Fools' Day) may not be coincidental, emphasizing the importance of humor and non-importance of serious political decisions. The flag of the Republic contains a palm of hand in a white background. Each season the palm emblem has another color: Winter - blue, Spring - green, Summer - yellow, Autumn – red. On April 1, 2002, a statue of an angel blowing a trumpet was unveiled in the main square. The idea was developed from a desire to erect an angel in memory of animator and caricaturist Zenonas Šteinys. It became a symbol of the revival Užupis. The funds were raised by selling miniature copies of the sculpture.The sculptor, Romas Vilčiauskas, is also the creator of the Užupis Mermaid.
Previously, a temporary sculpture of an egg stood in its place. The egg itself became the subject of various anecdotes. After being replaced by the larger statue of Gabriel, the egg was sold at an auction for 10,200 litas and now stands on Pylimo street.Wikipedia
Vilnius, City Walk - Lithuania 4K Travel Channel
The starting point for our city walk is the Cathedral of St. Stanislaus. This time take a look inside, where a Holy Mass just takes place
From the cathedral, we continue to the funicular tramway which brings us to the Gediminas mountain. We pass the National Museum of Lithuania, in front of which stands a monument to the Grand Duke Mindaugas. He is regarded as the founder of Lithuania and even received the royal crown at the instigation of Pope Innocent IV, in 1253. He was murdered in 1263 because he had lost the support of the population.
From the top of Gediminas Mountain, we have a wonderful panoramic view over Vilnius. Countless churches determine the cityscape. The steepness of the flanks of the mountain gives a sense of how difficult it was for attackers to take over the fortress. Gediminas' Tower on the mountain now houses a museum and is the landmark of Vilnius.
Back at the foot of the mountain we go back to the cathedral and pass the castle. From there we turn into Pilies gatve. It is the main shopping street and the tourist center of Vilnius.
Along the street you find plenty of restaurants and shops. Approximately in the middle of the road, the Literary Street branches off to the left.
Innumerable bookstores and antiquarians lined the narrow lane once. The Lithuanian writer Adam Mickiewicz also lived here temporarily.
Egle Vertelkaite, the curator of the Modern Art Center, launched the project Literatų Street in 2009. About 150 artists pay homage to writers and poets who influenced Lithuanian literature. Therefore they created on the house walls about 200 tiles and plaques made of different materials, such as ceramics, wood, or glass. Also some unknown literati are immortalized here.
The road ends at the Cathedral of the Theotokos in the Maironio gatve.
From here it is only a few steps to Uzupio gatve. The bridge over the Vilnia leads to Uzupis, one of the oldest districts of Vilnius. After Lithuania's independence, it became more and more of a bohemian district. In 1997, the artists proclaimed the independent Republic of Uzupis.

Ausgangspunkt für unseren Stadtspaziergang in Vilnius ist die Kathedrale St. Stanislaus. Diesmal werfen einen Blick hinein, wo gerade eine Messe stattfindet.
Von der Kathedrale gehen wir weiter zur Schrägseilbahn die uns auf den Gediminas-Berg bringt. Dabei passieren wir das Nationalmuseum von Litauen, vor dem ein Denkmal des Großfürsten Mindaugas steht. Er gilt als Gründer Litauens und erhielt auf Veranlassung von Papst Innozenz IV im Jahre 1253 sogar die Königskrone. 1263 wurde er ermordet, da er den Rückhalt in der Bevölkerung verloren hatte.
Oben auf dem Gediminas-Berg angekommen, bietet sich uns ein herrlicher Panoramablick über Vilnius. Unzählige Kirchen bestimmen das Stadtbild. Die Steilheit der Flanken des Berges vermittelt ein Gefühl wie schwer es Angreifer hatten, die Festung einzunehmen. Der Gediminas-Turm auf dem Berg beinhaltet heute ein Museum und ist das Wahrzeichen von Vilnius.
Zurück am Fuß des Berges gehen wir zurück zur Kathedrale und passieren das Schloss. Von dort biegen wir in die Pilies gatve ein. Sie ist die Haupteinkaufstrasse und das touristische Zentrum von Vilnius.
Zahlreiche Restaurants und Geschäfte säumen die Straße. Ungefähr in der Mitte des Verlaufs zweigt die Literatenstraße links ab.
Einst reihten sich in der schmalen Gasse unzählige Buchhandlungen und Antiquariate. Aber auch der litauische Schriftsteller Adam Mickiewicz lebte zeitweise hier.
Egle Vertelkaite, Kuratorin des Modern Art Center startete 2009 das Projekt Literatų Straße. Etwa 150 Künstler erinnern an bedeutende litauische Schriftsteller und Dichter. Hierzu schufen sie an den Hauswänden ca. 200 Kacheln und Gedenktafeln aus verschiedenen Materialien, wie Keramik, Holz, oder Glas. Auch einige unbekannte Literaten sind hier verewigt.
Die Straße mündet bei der Kathedrale der Himmelfahrt der Gottesmutter in die Maironio gatve.
Von hier aus sind es nur wenige Schritte zur Uzupio gatve. Die Brücke über die Vilnia führt nach Uzupis, einem der ältesten Viertel von Vilnius. Nach der Unabhängigkeit Litauens entwickelte es sich mehr und mehr zum Künstlerviertel. 1997 wurde Uzupis von den Künstlern zu unabhängigen Republik Uzupis erklärt.

Vilnius In Your Pocket - Užupis
Vilnius In Your Pocket visits Užupis. Before the war the strange and exotic district of Užupis (which means 'over the river') was one of the main Jewish parts of the city. During the Soviet occupation Užupis was adopted by artists and other non-conformists and it acquired a reputation as the Lithuanian Montmartre. After Old Town, Užupis is the most popular place to visit. In 1997 it declared independence, and the 'Republic of Užupis' now has its own president, flag, army and constitution. Užupis Independence Day is on April 1 and if you want to visit on this day you may be approached by one of the Republic's soldiers and asked for your passport before you're allowed to cross the bridge.

Vilnius Panorama from Baltasis tiltas bridge
The Baltasis Bridge (The White Bridge) is a footbridge. It is one of the popular pedestrian bridges in the city. This bridge connects Vilnius city centre and the relaxing zone (shopping hall VCUP, sand volleyball courts, Skate Park). Moreover, at the beginning of the bridge, there is restaurant. Also, the summer leisure zone is located near the bridge. So, during the summer season, there are lots of people around the Baltasis Bridge.
The Baltasis Bridge is unique because of the ray-spear sculpture that decorates it.
A lot of bridges such as the ‘The Point Neuf Bridge’ in Paris, ‘The Golden Gate Bridge’ in San Francisco, ‘The Brooklyn Bridge’ in New York etc.

VILNIUS OLD TOWN, LITHUANIA 2019
Vilnius Old Town is a very interesting place to visit and is definitely one of my favorite destinations in Europe it is one of the largest surviving medieval town in Northern and Eastern Europe. Plenty of tourist attractions to visit and explore. There are many available accommodations in Vilnius Old Town, from luxurious and expensive, moderately priced hotels,, home stays, rental apartment for short stays, down to cheap bed at budget hostels. Try to explore streets like Pilies and Vilnaus for dining or anywhere else in the courtyards and corners alleys of the town. Choosing where to eat will be a dilemma with the numerous good options in Vilnius Old Town.
A big bonus for travellers is a chance to explore the self-proclaimed Republic of Užupis (oo-zhu-pis). A large part of Užupis is within the boundaries of Vilnius Old Town. Užupis has a different vibe and was made so by the free-spirited artists who dwell there.
I love Vilnius!
維爾紐斯市內「對岸共和國Uzupis Republic」與文學之路Literatu St
2014-10-15 對岸共和國（英語：Uzupis Republic，立陶宛語：Uzupio respublika；又譯奧蘇比斯共和國）是一個微國家，它位於申報聯合國教科文組織世界遺產的立陶宛首都維爾紐斯老城區。立陶宛語「Uzupis」的意思是「河的對岸」，指的是被維爾尼亞河（Vilnele）圍繞的地區。1997年4月1日愚人節，該區宣布成為一個獨立的共和國，並擁有自己的國旗、貨幣、總統、憲法，並成立一支12人的「軍隊」，不過後來因為立陶宛加入北約，「軍隊」宣佈解散。
對岸共和國暫時未被任何一國政府承認，與其說她是一個獨立國家，形容為一個藝術家組織更為貼切，「共和國」是藝術家與文化人的集中地（現任總統Romas Lileikis是一個詩人、音樂家和電影導演），當地設有藝術畫廊，藝術家工作坊，和不少咖啡館，放蕩不羈的氛圍可毗美巴黎的蒙馬特，維爾紐斯市長Arturas Zuokas，亦經常出席對岸共和國舉辦的活動。
「國中國」文學之路（Literatu St）文學之路始於2008年，一群藝術家為紀念詩人Adomas Mickevicius，決定在他住過的這條街上擺上創作品裝飾，創作品以作家、譯者、對立陶宛或世界文學有貢獻的學者為主題，很有特色。充滿小型紀念品的文學之路，這些擺設品，每件都有編號作紀錄。

Vilnius Old Town - In Search of Alaya
The Old Town of Vilnius has a large number of Churches, holy sites, and temples from numerous religions. From Christian Orthodoxy to traditional pagans, temples in Vilnius have been destroyed and rebuilt numerous times. What can Vilnius teach us about how faith defines a city, and how that evolves over time?
Vilnius, City Tour by Bus - Lithuana 4K Travel Channel
Vilnius is the capital of Lithuania and, in terms of area, the largest city in the Baltics. Vilnius was never subordinate to the Teutonic Order. Vilnius has always had a very liberal reputation until the Poles were expelled in World War II and the Jews fled or were murdered.
The name of the city originates from the small river Vilnia, which flows near the Gediminas mountain in the Neris. Grand Duke Gediminas founded the city in 1323. He wooed for merchants, scientists, and craftsmen, also with the argument of the two churches. The freedom of religion influenced the liberality of the city for a long time. Nevertheless, the city was repeatedly attacked and devastated by the Teutonic Order. Therefore, the Grand Duke Wladysław II Jagiello entered into an alliance with Poland and married the Polish Queen Hedwig. Then the land was Christianized and one destroyed the pagan temple on the Gediminas mountain.
Originally Vilnius was capital of the Lithuanian Grand Duchy in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Abieju Tautu Respublika from 1569 to 1795. After being controlled by Russia, Poland, Sweden, and Germany, Vilnius became the capital of Lithuania again in 1990. Already in 1579, one founded the University of Vilnius.
In the morning of the next day, the weather seems to be better again and we decide to make a city tour by bus in Vilnius to get a quick overview of the most important sights.
The bus tour starts in the city center near the Cathedral of St. Stanislaus. It is the oldest church on Lithuanian soil, already built in the 13th century. It received its classical appearance in 1783. The cathedral was built on the remains of a first Christian church and on the remains of a pagan temple.
Behind the cathedral is the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania.
Next station is the Presidential Palace.
In an outer arch, the bus travels around the old town to the east and reaches St. Anne's Church and the Church of St. Francis and St. Bernard. On the opposite side of the street is the Church of St. Michael the Archangel.
A few meters further on is the white Cathedral of the Theotokos.
Right next to it, the bridge leads over the Vilnia River to a special neighborhood in Vilnius, the Republic of Uzupis.

Vilnius, zu deutsch auch Wilna genannt, ist die Hauptstadt von Litauen und flächenmäßig die größte Stadt des Baltikums. Wilna unterstand nie dem Deutschen Orden. Wilna hatte immer einen sehr liberalen Ruf, bis im 2. Weltkrieg die Polen vertrieben wurden und die Juden flüchteten oder ermordet wurden.
Die Stadt ist nach dem kleinen Flüsschen Vilnia benannt, das nahe dem Gediminas-Berg in die Neris mündet. Die Stadt wurde 1323 von Großfürst Gediminas gegründet. Er warb um Kaufleute, Wissenschaftler und Handwerker, auch mit dem Argument der zwei Kirchen. Die Glaubensfreiheit beeinflusste die Liberalität der Stadt noch lange. Dennoch wurde die Stadt mehrfach vom Deutschen Orden angegriffen und verwüstet. Deshalb ging der Großfürst Wladysław II Jagiello eine Allianz mit Polen ein und heiratetet die polnische Königin Hedwig. Daraufhin wurde das Land christianisiert und der heidnische Tempel auf dem Gediminas-Berg zerstört.
Ursprünglich war Vilnius von 1569 bis 1795 Kapitale des litauischen Großfürstentums in der polnisch-litauischen Adelsrepublik Abieju Tautu Respublika. Nach wechselhafter Kontrolle durch Russland, Polen, Schweden und Deutschland wurde Wilna erst 1990 wieder Hauptstadt von Litauen. Bereits 1579 wurde die Universität Wilna gegründet
Am Morgen des nächsten Tages scheint das Wetter wieder besser zu sein und wir beschließen erst einmal eine Bustour durch die Stadt zu machen, um rasch eine Orientierung über die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten zu bekommen.
Die Busfahrt beginnt im Zentrum der Stadt bei der Kathedrale St. Stanislaus. Sie ist die älteste Kirche auf litauischem Boden. Sie wurde bereits im 13. Jahrhundert errichtet. Ihr klassizistische Aussehen erhielt sie 1783. Sie wurde auf den Resten einer ersten christlichen Kirche und auf den Resten eines heidnischen Tempels errichtet.
Hinter der Kathedrale befindet sich das Großfürstliche Schloss.
Nächste Station ist der Präsidentenpalast.
In einem äußeren Bogen umfährt der Bus die Altstadt im Osten und erreicht die St. Anna Kirche und die Kirche St. Franziskus und St. Bernhard. Auf der gegenüber liegenden Straßenseite befindet sich die Erzengel Michael Kirche.
Einige Meter weiter steht die weiße Kathedrale der Himmelfahrt der Gottesmutter.
Gleich daneben führt die Brücke über die Vilnia in einen besonderen Stadtteil von Vilnius, die Künstlerkolonie und selbsternannte Republik Uzupis.
