The Vilnius Free Walking Tour is the ideal way to kick-start your exploration of Vilnius. Our local guides, recognizable by their yellow bags and name tags, meet visitors daily on the stairs of Vilnius Town Hall. Let's embark on a journey together and discover the wonders of Vilnius Old Town and Užupis, a self-declared republic of artists.
During the 2-2.5 hour Vilnius Free Walking Tour, you will have the opportunity to visit most of the must-see attractions in Vilnius. We'll begin by strolling through the narrow streets of Vilnius Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and explore the former Jewish quarter, St. Anne's church, Užupis, as well as some hidden sites that you wouldn't find on your own. But this free walking tour in Vilnius is not just about the buildings and places. It's also about experiencing the life of Lithuania through the eyes of its people.
The Yellow Vilnius Free Tour covers a range of topics, from quirky Lithuanian traditions to the different communities that built the city, from the grim history of World War II to life in modern Lithuania. Our guides are not only knowledgeable about the historical facts, but also passionate about connecting history with everyday life. We'll talk about serious topics, but we also love a good sense of humor and self-irony. We believe that this Vilnius free walking tour is an excellent introduction to your visit in Vilnius.
