Europos Parkas was founded to mark a French institute's calculation that the geographic centre of Europe lies just north of Vilnius, and it fills a stretch of forest and meadow with large-scale contemporary sculpture from around the world. You walk wooded trails from one monumental artwork to the next.
What you actually see
- Monumental sculptures - large outdoor works set through forest and field.
- The centre of Europe theme - pieces marking the park's founding idea.
- The LNK Infotree - a famous sculpture built of hundreds of old television sets.
- The forest trails - the walking loops that link the art.
When to go
Warm months, when the outdoor art and trails are at their best; autumn adds colour to the woods. Allow a couple of hours to walk the loops.
Honest expectations
It is a walk-and-look sculpture park spread through forest, so you cover distance and the appeal depends on your taste for contemporary art. It is out of the city, needing a car or tour. The pieces vary from striking to slight, as such collections do.
Nearby
The actual surveyed centre of Europe is marked nearby; Vilnius is half an hour south.
