If the river is favorable, you can test your destiny under the Užupis Bridge by going on the Destiny’s Swing.

While swinging, discover another well-kept secret – the Mermaid or Užupis’ Maiden. She took a dive once in the flood of 2004 but she’s back safe in a niche along the quay. Beware, legend has it that if you look at her long enough she might seduce you to stay in Užupis forever.
