What to expect from Vilnius Free Walking Tour

Vilnius free walking tour is the best way to start your visit in Vilnius. Meet our locals guides everyday on the stairs of Vilnius Town Hall. We are the ones with yellow bags and yellow name tags! Let’s explore Vilnius Old Town and Užupis (a self declared republic of artists) together.

During 2 - 2,5 hours Vilnius free walking tour you will get to visit most of the must see attractions in Vilnius. Starting from one of the main squares in the city - Vilnius Town Hall square - we will stroll through the narrow Vilnius old town streets protected by UNESCO to explore the former Jewish quarter, Vilnius University, St. Anne’s church, Uzupis, as well as some hidden sites that you wouldn't find on your own. However, this free walking tour in Vilnius is not only about buildings and places, it’s a lot about the life in Lithuania through the eyes of people that live here. Yellow Vilnius Free Tour covers many different topics from quirky Lithuanian traditions to different communities that built the city, the grim WW2 history as well life in modern Lithuania. We will do our best not to “attack” you with only historical facts (although, all of us are professional guides in Vilnius, so if you want facts, you are more than welcome to ask them). Our guides connect history with nowadays life. We talk seriously about serious topics and we laugh together with you at funny stories (we love good sense of humour and we don’t mind self-irony). That’s why we believe this Vilnius free walking tour is a great introduction in your visit in Vilnius.

If you want to support our idea, you are welcome to contribute at the end of the tour. You can give 5 EUR to you guide or you can give 50 EUR whatever you feel the guide deserves :)
