Facts and practical information

The White Bridge, known locally as Baltasis tiltas, is a contemporary landmark in the heart of Vilnius, Lithuania. Spanning the Neris River, this pedestrian bridge connects the city center with the modern business district and the lush greenery of Žirmūnai.

Constructed in 1995, the White Bridge was designed to facilitate both pedestrian and bicycle traffic, promoting ease of movement across the river while offering stunning views of the Vilnius skyline. The structure is characterized by its modern design and the stark white color from which it derives its name, standing as a symbol of the city's post-Soviet development and its stride towards the future.

The bridge is not just a practical thoroughfare; it has become a popular meeting point for locals and a favored spot for tourists to take a leisurely stroll and capture photographs of the city's architectural panorama. In the warmer months, the area around the White Bridge bustles with activity, as street performers and vendors add to the vibrant atmosphere.
