    In the heart of Vilnius, at the junction of Gediminas Castle Hill, the Vilnelė River, and the Bernardine Monastery, the Bernardine Gardens offer a cozy and vibrant escape. This small yet richly adorned garden is filled with a diverse array of plants, echoing laughter, and stories. Challenge yourself to find the oldest oak in Vilnius—here's a hint: it has a diameter of 1.5 meters and stands majestically in a corner of the park near a bridge. This ancient oak, like the park itself, has witnessed centuries of history and continues to welcome visitors with open branches.
