Geocache Description:

Šnipiškės neighborhood in Vilnius

Sometimes Šnipiškės is regarded as a "Village inside city" and its central districts still live up to this title. They are almost entirely dominated by wooden private homes. Most of them are heated by burning wood in stoves and many even lack tap water and sewarage (public water outlets are used). Some of the streets are not yet paved. This central Šnipiškės is an indirect heritage of Soviet urban planning when new districts would be built in some places while some others would be left completely untouched. Šnipiškės was among the later and so you can still witness how a 19th century wooden suburb of Vilnius looked like. Streets like Giedraičių or unpaved Šilutės are the best to see this.
