I will meet you at the Bell Tower of the Cathedral (enter "Miracle Tile" on Google Maps). I will have a black backpack with a teddy bear in it.
Description
Step into the cobbled streets of Vilnius and let the city reveal its layers - from grand dukes to hidden courtyards, from sacred to rebellious.
This walking tour is your gateway to discovering how Vilnius became one of Europe’s most unique capitals - shaped by kings, poets, traders, and everyday people whose stories still echo in its streets.
We’ll begin at the Cathedral Square, where myths and memory meet. From there, we’ll wander down Pilies Street, pass the Presidential Palace, peek to Vilnius University, and admire St. Anne’s Church, a Gothic marvel that once stunned Napoleon himself. Along the way, we’ll uncover the meaning behind architectural gems, symbols carved into stone, and the spirit that carried this city through wars, partitions, times of quiet resistance.
Our tour ends near the Gates of Dawn, a place of quiet reflection and deep significance.
✨ This is not your typical tour. It’s a walk led by someone who genuinely loves the city - with warmth, humor, and a passion. I’m not just your guide, but also your travel companion, ready to share tips, answer questions, and even swap travel tales - I’m a traveler, too!
Come along - Vilnius has a lot to tell you. Let’s walk and listen.
