Just as the return of the birds symbolises the arrival of spring, the sound of the city fountains flowing again is associated with warmth – the onset of spring and summer. In the warm season, seriousness is somehow inappropriate, and we want to take a carefree stroll along the familiar city streets, occasionally take solace on a bench, enjoy an iced coffee or an ice-cream while indulging in a spot of people-watching – children shouting, boisterous adolescents, or the elderly feeding the pigeons and sparrows. And to make sure it is only fun but also interesting, let’s make it meaningful by visiting the city’s well-known and visible, yet sometimes forgotten, fountains. Did you know that there are more than 30 fountains in public places in Vilnius? Let’s get to know at least some of them and choose our favourite one where we can enjoy the freshness and tranquillity of the water more often and for longer.

The route is suitable for children and pets, but the stone pavement makes access more difficult for pushchairs or people with reduced mobility, especially in Užupis and the Old Town.
