Vilnius University (VU) Botanical Garden
VU Botanical Garden was established in 1781. In 240 years, the Garden has become an integral part of science, as well as educational and social life of communities of Vilnius University and Lithuanian capital. Historical circumstances have led for the Botanical Garden to be relocated several times. Today it is located, awaits visitors and provides various services even in two places: the main part of 191,5 ha (since 1974) is in Kairėnai, and the other part of 7,35 ha is in Vingis Park (since 1919). The total area of the Garden is 199 ha, it is the largest in Lithuania. The Garden can be interesting for history lovers, because in Kairėnai it is located in an old manor site and the Vingis Department does not lack traces of history as well.
The garden in Kairėnai is open to visitors all year round, and the Vingis Department is open only during the warm season. Garden provides many services such as rent of infrastructure, picnic area and conference facilities, offers educational programs and various excursions.
