Overview
Join a free walking tour and discover more of Vilnius, including its 700 hundred years of history. Find out how our Grand Dukes ruled the city and what enemies the Grand Duchy of Lithuania had in the Middle Ages. You will probably be surprised to learn how powerful, big and threatening the country was in the past.
Starting by the Cathedral Square, your guide will lead you through the narrow, medieval streets of the Old Town towards an area where mostly Jews and Germans lived in the past. You will get to know about different nationalities that lived in the city, how they all cohabit together and what happened to them, as Vilnius today is not so multi-ethnic anymore.
For the dessert, we will show you the Republic of Uzupis – the magical part of Vilnius that has its own crazy story. Keep your camera on, pay attention to the small artistic details in this area, and relax. Don’t take seriously, everything the guide says here, humor is the most important here!
For the final stop, we will come back to the place where we started, will take one more glimpse at the Cathedral square, just now from a different perspective, – of today’s Vilnius.
