  4. Vilniaus Aukstoji Turisto BazÄ— (Vilnius Tourist Information Center): Located near the Gediminas Castle Tower, they offer information about various water activities in and around Vilnius, including boat tours on the Neris River.

  5. Užupis Republic Beach (within Vilnius city): While it’s not a traditional beach, Užupis Republic has its own “beach” area next to the Užupio KÄ—dainių Bridge. It’s a great spot for a picnic or a relaxing day by the water.

Please note that swimming in the Neris River is not recommended due to strong currents and lack of lifeguards. Always prioritize safety when engaging in water activities.
