Shiny happy Vilnius

Bar Paparazzi and Balti Dramblai


After months of searching for service with a smile and places with a good vibe, I have decided on a top five of 'happy' places in Vilnius
1. The Republic of Uzupis.
This 'republic' was established on April Fool's day 2002 as a happy, vibrant area to live in and visit. Uzupis attracts many 'bohemian' types such as students, artists and writers. It's a must and don't forget your passport.
2. Baras Paparazzi
Bar Paparazzi is quite a trendy bar chain that attracts young professionals who enjoy sipping on expensive cocktails. However, the place has a cool vibe and in-house DJs play anything from soul and 70s disco to cool, modern jazz. NICE!!!
In Vilnius: Totoriø 3, tel. 212-0135. Open:17-03. Fri, Sat 17-06.

3. Balti Dramblai
This is Vilnius' only non-smoking restaurants that sells all vegetarian food. It is situated in a basement. Although the food is too bland to be classed as real Indian cuisine, it is certainly cheap and fillling. The place also sells many varieties of real tea including chai and ginger and lemon tea.

4. Prospekto Pub on Gedimino Street
This is the place to come on a Saturday night to let your hair down. The music's crap and cheesy, but who cares when it is full of people flirting wildly.

5. Bix
A great classic rock n roll pub
