Overview

Highlights:
- Wooden architecture of Vilnius
- The modern city center with the highest skyscrapers in the country
- Art in unexpected places

The Undiscovered Vilnius tour is the best way to get a different perspective of Vilnius. Throughout the tour, we will travel to the most contrasting area of Vilnius, called Šnipiškės. In Šnipiškės abandoned wooden houses and modern skyscrapers are just meters away from each other. To feel the contrast better, we will reach the modern city center with the highest skyscrapers in the country.

It is very likely that all those areas will change completely in a few years, so don't miss an opportunity to be a witness of these changes and let us take you to the most contrasting and undiscovered places of Vilnius.

This activity includes:

Cathedral Square
Monument to Grand Duke Gediminas
Vilnius's best-kept secret : the wooden city center
Art along Neris river- perhaps the most scandalous art piece in Lithuanian history
The first powerplant in the city
The modern center of the Soviet Vilnius
Th hotel where all foreigners had to stay and no locals were allowed
Europe square in the modern city center with the highest skyscrapers in Lithuania
The fanciest basketball court in the country

“Greatest ”

An interesting and informative tour, visiting places you probably wouldn't reach on your own. The guide was excellent—just great!

“Thank you!”

This was the second time that I joined a guided tour using freetour.com (the previous time in Riga) and again I was very pleased with the guide and the content of the tour. I was taken to parts of Vilnius that I would probably have otherwise missed during my very short stay in the city. There were 3 people in the group who were visibly annoyed by the references to the Italian influence in Vilnius, but their annoyance towards history was their problem and doesn't reflect badly on the guide. I just wished I didn't have to walk around with them ????

“As a Lithuanian from Kaunas - much recommended ”

Our guide took us on a look through history of Lithuania in Soviet times up until today, highlight of the tour was wooden houses in šnipiškės and all the stories that went along with it. I would recommend the tour even if you are Lithuanian as am I, especially if you're not from Vilnius!

“Interesting tour ”

It was a great tour, it highlighted some interesting and also sad parts of Lithuanian history from the Soviet past. The guide, Ugnė showed us the contrasting parts of Vilnius, which was interesting if you are interested in something else then the usual city-centre-main-sightseeings-type of tour.

“Truly was not on my radar”

When i booked the tour I wasn‘t really expecting anything in particular, I just wanted to get a more holistic view of the city. Ugni (I hope I spelled that right) was a really great guide. She balanced personal stories and historical facts about the city, especially during Soviet times, very well and gave great recommendations. Especially the wooden town behind the skyscrapers was definitely worth a visit! Definitely worth the time!

“Really Interesting Tour of Vilnius' Hidden Gems”

Our guide, Ugne, like her name's meaning was on ???? and really awesome! She was very knowledgeable and gave us an informative tour. Even showed pictures on her notebook and phone to supplement the fun facts she shared about Vilnius. The contrast of the 18th century old wooden houses against the backdrop of skyscrapers in the formerly Soviet part of the city was just mind blowing. Really interesting Tour and would highly recommend! ????
