Visiting Šiauliai

Šiauliai is the 4th biggest Lithuanian city and is famous for the Hill of Crosses. Most people only visit the city to see the Hill of Crosses. I was about to be one of them until I decided to stop at the city center to take a coffee break. Right across the coffee shop, I saw the Šiauliai Tourist Information Center. After finishing my coffee I went in to buy a fridge magnet for my collection. The officers were really helpful and convinced me to visit other attractions around Siauliai before driving off for Hill of Crosses. I am glad they did because I visited some of the most creative and cute museums I have ever been to. Also, I saw some really nice sculptures and art pieces around the city.

About Šiauliai

Šiauliai city is dating back to the 13th century according to the sources. It is thought the city is the same place where a big victory was gained by Lithuanians in Saule. Since then city happened to be a military city, textile and industry hub and recently a cultural and education center. Unfortunately the whole city was burned down during World War II. So the city center doesn’t offer an amazing old town like Vilnius or Kaunas. But Russians rebuilt the center in 40s so you will be able to see some good Soviet architectural examples. The city has lots of museums, exhibitions and hosts festivals time to time.

How to reach

Easiest way to reach Šiauliai is by train. Train lines are running frequently between Vilnius and Šiauliai. Also the train line coming back from Klaipeda to

Vilnius is passing by from Šiauliai too. So it’s either a good two-day trip from Vilnius or a day trip after a relaxing weekend in Klaipeda. Both are good options. You can check train schedules and book your tickets on Traukiniobilietas.

The second way to reach there is by bus. Find the schedules and tickets on Autobusubilietai. Also, you can easily rent a car from City Bee or Spark. These will be more expensive for either 1-2 people. However, for 3-5 people it will be affordable and of course more comfortable. Keep in your mind that getting approval from these car-sharing apps may take 1-2 days. Especially if you don’t have an EU driver's license. In this case, just give them a call or mail them.

Where to stay

Šiauliai is a little city so accommodation is limited. There are mostly flat type of accommodation instead of hostels and hotels. If you are a solo traveler, prices are relatively more expensive than big Lithuanian cities. Being this said there are some good and affordable options for 2+ groups.

Sweet Apartments

Central place with lake view

The above two are close to the city center. If you have a car or don’t mind taking a taxi, you can find both other flats and hotels about 6+ km away from the center.

What to eat

Well, if you decide to stay at a flat, you will have a kitchen to cook. If you are just there for the day or not looking to cook you can try:

Grill London – a really popular chain place, menu is not the richest but good portions for fair prices. Good for lunch or dinner. Map location.

Prezo Kepyklėlė – a good bakery with lots of fresh pastry varieties. Good for breakfast. Map location.

Senasis sodzius – If you are looking for Lithuanian food is a good option. Map location.

You can easily find chain cafes like Vero Cafe, Caffeine and Caif Cafe in the center.

Of course, there are some other restaurants around the city. They are more expensive than the average and a bit more on the fancier side. If you are on a budget, they may not be the best options.

Attractions

Here, I listed the main attractions in the Šiauliai City Center that you can easily reach. Almost all of these attractions are located in the “Bulvaras” neighborhood. The cafes and restaurants are also in this area. You can cover almost all of them in just a day. No need to use public transportation. Just walking is enough.

Sundial Square (Saulės laikrodžio aikštė)

Sundial Square was built for the 750th birthday of Šiauliai city. The square is designed to have an amphitheater, a long obelisk with an archer statue on top. The obelisk is located to show the local time using the sun rotations so it is also a kind of solar clock. A large green park area covers the square.

Hill of Rebels (Sukilėlių kalnelis)

This hill, located in the city center, is a memorial area as the Russian army executed eleven ‘rebels’ who were actively supporting the Lithuanian uprising.

Energetic Labyrinth (Energetinis Labirintas) and the Iron Fox (Geležinė lapė)

Near Lake Talkša of Šiauliai city, a small energy maze was created from stones with the support of the city municipality. I actually went and saw the maze without knowing the real meaning behind it. If you want to learn beforehand you can check this website. The Iron Fox (Geležinė lapė) statue is located right near the Energetic Labyrinth. The fox’s heart has a kind of time capsule for feature generations too.

Stasys Gliaudis Museum of Nature (Stasio Gliaudžio gamtos muziejus)

Stasys Gliaudys who is an important Lithuanian naturalist who specialized in butterflies founded the Museum of Nature in 2000. The museum exhibits wildlife exhibits accumulated over several decades, many of which reflect Lithuanian nature. The museum is really similar to the Kaunas Tadas Ivanauskas Museum of Zoology.

Vilnius University Šiauliai Academy (VUŠA) Botanical Garden (Vilniaus Universiteto Šiaulių akademijos (VUŠA) Botanikos Sodas)

Lithuanian universities do a great job in Botanics. The VUŠA garden is no different and is great to visit too.

Other Attractions

Besides these main attractions, there is also a homestead museum a bit outside the center that I didn’t visit. The place is called Žaliūkiai miller’s homestead-museum (Žaliūkių malūnininko sodyba-muziejus) and the concept is really similar to Rumsiskes and Samogitian Village Museum.

Šiauliai has lots of contemporary art installations and thematic museums too. A few good ones to check out are:

Šiauliai Art Gallery (Šiaulių dailės galerija)

Museum of Photography (Fotografijos muziejus) - What makes this museum unique is that it is the only art and technology center focusing on photography. Inside there is a gallery, a studio, a photography laboratory, and some rooms for education and study. If you are interested in photography, it is worth checking out

Cents Room (Centų kambarys) - The Cents Room is not actually a museum but an exhibition built inside a library.

Bicycle Museum of Šiauliai (Šiaulių Dviračių muziejus)

Ruta Chocolate Museum (“Rūtos” šokolado muziejus)

Cat Museum (Katinų muziejus)

Radio and television museum (Radijo ir televizijos muziejus) Railway Museum (Gelezinkelio istorijos muziejus)

Šiauliai Cathedral (Šiaulių Šv. apaštalų Petro ir Pauliaus katedra) Chaim Frenkel villa Museum (Chaimo Frenkelio vila-muziejus) Venclauskiai House (Venclauskių namai)

My body wakes up when the sun rises; I still can't get over the beautiful sunrise in Siauliai. The plan was to visit Lithuania but I fell in love and extended my stay in Poland. One day I'll explore Lithuania 💖 #siauliai #lithuania #sunrise #travel #gltlove #travellithuania #lelsinlithuania (at Šiauliai) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfa9adnrxrj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

French Air Force releases images of interception of Russian aircraft in the Baltic Sea

Russian warplanes were intercepted by NATO jets a few hours after Putin's new nuclear threat to the West.

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 03/03/2024 - 12:30 in Interceptions, Military

On 1º March, NATO reported that French Mirage 2000-5 fighters intercepted Russian Su-30SM fighters over the Baltic Sea. Moments later, two more Russian aircraft, an Il-20 reconnaissance aircraft and an An-72 transport aircraft, were also intercepted by French Air Force jets on a NATO mission.

NATO and the French Air Force released videos and images of the interception of Russian fighters, a few hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a new threat to the West about the nuclear war, where he said that Russia could cause the "destruction of civilization", by stating that NATO forces are "preparing to attack Russian territory".

Check out how it looks, when 2 ?? Mirage 2000-5 intercept 2 ?? SU-30-M aircraft over the Baltic Sea yesterday

— NATO Air Command (@NATO_AIRCOM) March 1, 2024

The press service of the NATO Air Force Command said that the incident occurred in international airspace in northern Poland on February 29.

According to NATO, two Mirage 2000-5 of the French Air and Space Force intercepted two Russian Sukhoi Su-30SM jets over the Baltic Sea. Subsequently, the French fighters were sent to a new mission, where they also intercepted two Russian aircraft, an An-72 and an Il-20, which were flying in international airspace in northern Poland, the statement says.

The French aircraft departed from Siauliai Air Base, Lithuania, during the NATO Air Policing mission.

In addition, it is noteworthy that these missions were intensified after Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022

In recent years, there have been several interceptions of aircraft that have not caused any serious incidents.

NATO said that air forces across Europe sent their jets more than 300 times to intercept Russian military aircraft approaching the Alliance's airspace only last year.
