Overview

Join us on an excursion through Vilnius Old Town, the Castle grounds, Užupis—the city’s bohemian district, and an amber gallery. You’ll discover hidden courtyards and secret spots, while hearing fascinating stories along the way.

We’ll also visit Užupis, an artists' district that declared itself a 'free state' on April 1st, 1997, now celebrated annually as Užupis Independence Day. Here, you’ll explore its galleries, quirky sculptures, and the unique Užupis constitution. Optional: We can stop to enjoy Lithuanian beer or try local dishes (additional cost).
