Vilnius University (VU) Botanical Garden
VU Botanical Garden was established in 1781. In over 245 years, the Garden has become an integral part of the science, as well as the educational and social life of the communities of Vilnius University and the Lithuanian capital. Historical circumstances have led to the Botanical Garden being 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, which 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.
The Garden provides various services: use of the infrastructure, gazebos, picnic areas, as well as rental services for various premises. Every year, the Garden hosts educational, art, sports and healthy lifestyle-promoting events. Here you can book an educational program or various excursions.
