Overview

Step beneath the surface of Vilnius and discover a hidden world shaped by centuries of history, faith, and cultural transformation. This private walking tour combines the elegance of the UNESCO-listed Old Town with the mysterious atmosphere of historic catacombs, offering a rare perspective on a city whose past extends far beyond that of the United States.

With a professional local guide, explore the architectural and spiritual heritage of Vilnius, where baroque churches and classical facades rise above layers of underground history. Descend into the catacombs to uncover stories of burial traditions, religious practices, and the evolution of the city across generations.

Above ground, walk through Cathedral Square and surrounding historic streets, where royal influence and cultural identity shaped Lithuania’s development. Each step reveals a deeper connection between visible landmarks and the hidden structures beneath them.

    Have you ever wondered what a mysterious underground world may exist under your feet while walking throughout the streets of Old Town in Vilnius? Through its long history Vilnius has been repeatedly plagued by fires and wars. The houses in the Old Town were rebuilt several times throughout the last decades, but some of the underground parts have remained since the old times.During this tour, the history of Vilnius will be presented as it remains in the catacombs. You will see peculiarities of house cellars in the Old Town. You will have a unique possibility to see the place where one of the most beautiful historical women of Lithuania is buried. You will visit the crypt where the most powerful and well-known Lithuanian leaders are buried.Video projections will transfer you to a particular period. It will help you to visualize the image of Katedra’s catacombs in ancient times. One more innovation is a three-dimensional hologram. It is an allusion to a valuable and lost reliquary. The whole tour on foot will be guided by a professional guide.
