Užupis
-
One
of
the
most
authentic
parts
of
the
town!
If
you
don’t
like
seeing
houses
that
aren’t
perfectly
restored,
if
you’d
like
art,
if
you
don’t
like
good
food,
then
please
don’t
go
there.
Užupis
is
an
artsy
and
trendy
neighbourhood
with
lots
of
young
and
creative
pro
living
there.
Plenty
of
art
galleries
and
good
bars
and
restaurants.
It
might
not
everybody’s
cup
of
tea,
but
the
Republic
of
Užupis
never
tried
to
be
liked
by
everybody.
The
angel
in
the
central
square
is
the
most
famous
landmark
of
the
area
and
has
a
pretty
cool
story.
When
the
sculptor
Romas
Vilčiauskas
couldn’t
finish
the
sculpture
on
time
for
the
unveiling
ceremony,
an
egg
was
put
in
its
place
and
the
community
was
told
that
the
Angel
of
Užupis
would
soon
hatch.
The
sculpture
was
finally
completed
in
2002
to
commemorate
the
fifth
anniversary
of
the
“independence”
of
the
neighbourhood.
