A bohemian neighborhood that declared independence as a joke in 1997. Has its own constitution (translated in 30+ languages on walls), president, flag, and anthem. Not serious, but great atmosphere and street art.
Yes, widely among young people and in tourist areas. Older generations speak Russian. Lithuanian is one of Europe's oldest languages - beautiful but complex.
