Full description

Vilnius is a beautiful city, renowned for it's green spaces and Baroque architecture. It is also a very old city with lots of history, which nuances are best presented by a local Lithuanian. We recommend starting your tour where the history of the city began 10,000 years ago (!) at the Cathedral Square.

Walking through important buildings, streets and other objects you will find out how Lithuania emerged from the swamps to become the biggest country in Europe, how it came to its fall, what was the situation during the Soviet occupation and what the situation is now.

Includes

  • A friendly and knowledgeable local guide
  • Tips

Meeting point

In the Cathedral Square, there is a metal Gediminas monument, a man standing next to a horse. The guide will be waiting for you there, wearing a guide's license on a red strap.
