The 1-sq-km park includes a rose garden, 18km of footpaths and Birut臈 Hill (Birut膿s kalnas), once a pagan shrine. According to legend, it was tended by vestal virgins, one of whom, Birut臈, was kidnapped and married by Grand Duke K臋stutis. A 19th-century chapel tops the hill. The wonderful Amber Museum is inside the park.
