I’m writing this review as information to my readers, old and new. As I predicted in an earlier review this year the statues are now gone. When you’re visiting Vilnius and Žaliasis Tiltas from now (21 of July 2015) on, it is not possible to find the 63 years old bridge statues any longer. They were made by the two sculptors Bernardas Bučas and Petras Vaivada in the typical Soviet socialistic propaganda style showing strong communistic super humans and they were erected 1952 when the bridge was built. When I first visited Vilnius in 2003 I was surprised that they haven’t been cleaned out and taken away after the liberation, but as tourist it was a little bit fascinating to see these remnants from the old communistic time “in situ”. Lithuania and Vilnius are now one sad memory less from this tyrannical and terrible Soviet occupation time, but also a tourist attraction less, but the Lithuanians don’t miss them very much and I understand them. Perhaps they will turn up after some years in “the Stalin’s World” in the Grūto Parkas near to Druskininkai or in some other museum, so you can watch them again, but I think never more at the Žaliasis Tiltas.

This bridge over Neris with its dense traffic has four rusty statues from the Soviet occupation. The last year the Red Army soldiers symbolically have been looking into a big NATO flag and the workers into the same size Vytis flag (the White Knight, the Lithuanian Republic coat of arms). Perhaps you have to hurry up to see this statues in their original place, because there is an ongoing and hard discussion to take them down and move them to the garbage dump for Soviet statues in Grūto Parkas Museum near Druskininkai 120 km south west of Vilnius. You have a fantastic view from the bridge with the old town on one side of Neris and the modern Vilnius skyline on the other and you reach it after a few minutes’ walk from the center and a visit is best in the warm half of the year.

It is a bridge. It works. It fulfills it function. We drove on it 2 times. Well' could be called an attraction, if you are bridge engineer or bridge enthusiast.

I've been there 2 times (end of the May and in February). And I can make one recommendation - if you want to visit such places - visit them in Spring/Summer, because in February - impressions are not so great.

On a cold day, grab a cuppa hot steaming drink/coffee and just walk by the river bank upto Zaliasis Tiltas or just enjoy the weather by the bench.
I wouldnt call it a must see but if your visiting the old town, make sure u walk by to take in the intricate and beautiful art of metal.

This is a nice bridge, especially at night. Not really a "must" to visit though. It has 4 bronze sculptures on the each corner of bridge which might attract western tourists, but for local citizens they symbolize nothing, but misery and bad memories.

It is one of the many bridges in the city, frankly, I believe that it is not in the top attractions in Vilnius, but I've seen both day and night and I have to admit that during the night it thanks to the soft lights of the city purchases most beauty .
Note the bronze statues placed at the entrances of the bridge, this is also a great place to take pictures at sunset, all very nice.

Driving over the bridge to the airport was not that invigorating nor did we see much of the bridge but on checking it had history. The original wooden bridge over the Neris River dated back to 1536 and it had various versions and the first steel bridge came along in 1894 which survive the first world war but was blow up by the Germans in 1944.The current bridge was built in 1952 and a nice bridge over the Neris it is.
