Bernardine Garden
Bernardinų sodas
A historic garden on the eastern slope of Castle Hill, beside the Vilnia River, with a musical fountain and a playground. A city-center spot to rest.
Bernardine Garden was originally the vegetable garden of the Bernardine monastery. It was converted into a public garden in the 19th century and restored in 2013 to its 19th-century layout. The garden has a rose garden, plant beds, a musical fountain (which changes with the music on summer evenings), a chess area, and a children's playground. Along the Vilnia River, you can see Three Crosses Hill in the distance. The garden links Cathedral Square, St. Anne's Church, and Castle Hill, making it a good stop to rest during a walk through the Old Town. Admission is free.
