Experience Vilnius from the water with a kayak rental on the Neris River, the second largest river in Lithuania. This gentle route is ideal for beginners, families, and anyone looking for a relaxing way to explore the city. As you paddle, you’ll witness the contrasts between Vilnius’ historic old town and its modern districts, with leafy parks giving way to urban landscapes.

Your journey begins near the peaceful Trinapolis Church, where you’ll set off on calm waters. The wide, obstacle-free river makes for easy kayaking, even if it’s your first time. Along the way, enjoy unique views of Vilnius’ landmarks, the changing cityscape, and the natural beauty that lines the riverbanks. For those seeking a bit more excitement, the route is also suitable for friendly races or challenges among more experienced kayakers.

For a memorable twist, try kayaking at dusk. As the sun sets, the city lights reflect on the water, and the silhouettes of old town roofs and modern towers create a magical atmosphere. Whether you choose a daytime adventure or an evening paddle, your trip ends back at your starting point, leaving you free to continue exploring Vilnius on foot or relax by the river.
