Whilst Vilnius is not exactly Milan or London, it does offer infinitely more opportunities for retail therapy than it did during the Soviet years. The most popular souvenir is Baltic amber, available in outlets such as
Amber, Ausros Vartu 9, and the
Amber Museum-Gallery, Mykolo 8.
Although Vilnius has followed the trend for big shopping malls such as
Europa, Konstitucijos 7a, and
Akropolis, Ozo 25, the old town is also home to a pleasing myriad of small-scale niche shops. Some of the most interesting include the
Cognac Boutique, Etmonu 4, with its world-class treasure trove of fine cognacs,
Antikvaras, Pilies 32-4, with its array of bric-a-brac and antiques, and
Yzzy Fashion House, Gaono 10, with its interesting and offbeat attire. Shops in general open quite late around 1000 or 1100 and don’t close their doors until 1800 or 1900, though at weekends opening hours can be more limited.
