About
Every April 1st, Užupis, an artists' neighborhood across the Vilnelė River, marks its independence as a self-declared republic. Border guards, many of them students from Užupis Gymnasium, set up on the bridges and stamp visitors in. Forgot your passport? A smile counts. Later, a festive procession walks to Angel Square for a family photo of all Užupis residents. It suits kids who enjoy street parades and a bit of silliness.
Where it is
Užupis Angel Square
Užupio g. 2, Vilnius
