Overview

Travel back in time and uncover the medieval history of Vilnius, exploring the city’s past and its legendary rulers. From ancient settlers to the Grand Dukes, this tour offers a captivating look at how Vilnius and Lithuania developed through the centuries.
Your adventure begins at the monument of Grand Duke Gediminas, where you’ll meet your guide, easily recognizable by a yellow sign, umbrella, or bag. During the first hour, you’ll explore key historical sites, including the Old Arsenal, the National Museum and Gediminas Castle (viewed from below, without climbing the hill). Along the way, you’ll learn about Lithuania’s first inhabitants, the Baltic tribes and much more!
Next, step inside Vilnius Cathedral and descend beneath its grand halls into the crypts. These chambers hold centuries-old secrets, from noble burials to hidden stories waiting to be revealed. Learn about the significance of the Cathedral, the rulers laid to rest here, and the mysteries that still linger.
