HBO series Chernobyl was filmed in a Vilnius one of the sleeping quarters – Fabijoniškės. During the tour you will visit Fabijoniskes as well as other filming sites and learn about soviet life as well as Chernobyl catastrophe.

The town of Pripyat (‘peaceful atom’), created in the late sixties to service the plant, was built during few decades as the symbol of a friendship between the soviet nations. Most of the Soviet republics had their town districts built by then. That is why the series were shot in Vilnius quarter Fabijoniskes that served as an example of Pripyat.

One of the most-visited museums in Lithuania is an actual KGB prison and still has its KGB cells and torture chambers intact. The original pieces of furniture where prisoners were held were used in the shooting of the series. We will end our tour at the KGB building, so you will be able to visit it on your own.

My husband and I loved this tour from Domas. It was personalized to what we were interested in (answered all our questions) such as Soviet history and Chernobyl filming. We visited unique spots that only this tour would take you. Not only did we learn from this tour, we took incredible photos that became our favorite memory from our trip! After the site touring, Domas took us to the KGB museum where he gave insight on information we would’ve not known and gave us free time after to explore. Highly recommend for your visit to Vilnius!!
Amazing tour!!!

Amazing tour! The guide was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. You just cannot beat learning from a true local. Seeing the filming locations and learning about Lithuanian society was unforgettable!
Loved this!

Having recently watched the Chernobyl series, it was a delight to find out that there was a tour of where it was filmed in Vilnius. We only found out about it by accident, our bike tour guide mentioned it. Luckily, we managed to get booked in on our last day. We were collected from our hotel. The end of the tour is at the KGB museum which is included in the cost. The cost is a little steep but you are collected from your hotel and driven out of the centre of the city. Domas was a great guide and told us personal family stories which all added to the history of Lithuania under soviet rule. I now need to re-watch the series....
First hand stories of life under Soviet regime

Domas came and picked us up from the hotel. His English is excellent. Not only did we get to see all the places that featured in Chernobyl the series, he told us about life under Soviet Regime. It was very interesting. He left us at the KGB museum which was on our to do list anyway.
Great Chernobyl tour

If you are at all into Chernobyl (watch the new series first!) or Soviet-era Villus, check out this tour! It was something different and very fascinating. Definitely worth doing!

Had an interesting tour across the Soviet areas and the filming spots of the "Chernobyl" series in Vilnius with a great guide. Definitely different, but a great way to get to know the city. Would recommend!
