Day 129. May 1 in the Europos park
Wow, such a huge Vilnius fan I am and I have never been to the Europos park before.
It was founded in 1991. It occupies 55 ha territory.
96 sculptures to see are officially marked on the visitors map.
The park could be walked around in 2 hours on quite a slow walk.
Admission fee: 11 eur / adults.
Similar place in Vilnius but much smaller and for free: Jeruzale Sculptures Garden.

How to get there without a car?
Take any bus towards Santariškės (yes, yes, exactly Village of Santa) and get off at Jeruzalė stop. Then take bus No 66 towards Skirgiškės and get off at Europos Parkas. Voila! You are at the ticket box.

Construction 1876-1880

Traku Voke Manor was deserted for many years, however it has received financing from EU funds and I believe it will be brought back to its days of splendour again.
Trakų Vokė Manor page was launched this year 2019 ( And I really hope that the page will be active for a long yers).
In December 2019 175 young linden are planned to be grown @Manor (on 15min.lt in LT).
Best time to visit it is of course Spring-Summer when all the surroundings are green.
Trakų Vokė Manor as well as Lentvaris Manor (Day 57) belonged to graphs Tyszkiewiczowie, Juozapas Mykolas Tiškevičius , the 2nd Manager of Majoratas in Astravas is mentioned as it's Owner.
