This tour offers more than a simple list of sights. Discover Vilnius through the perspective of a local guide with a humanities background from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome and current studies at Vilnius Academy of Arts. I combine history, art, and personal stories to reveal the hidden details, cultural heritage, and unique atmosphere of this remarkable city.
We will meet at the Monument to Grand Duke Gediminas in Cathedral Square. It is an easy-to-find landmark in the heart of the Old Town. I will be waiting 10 minutes before the tour starts. My name is Marius, and I will be wearing a blue tour guide lanyard.
