Vilnius Cathedral Square
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.

Kristupas was our guide for the crypts under Vilnius Cathedral and cellars in the old town. He was an excellent guide; he was informative and entertaining. He spoke to us about the general history of the area, the culture of the people, and his own personal experiences. We really enjoyed hearing more about the multifaceted history of Lithuania, especially as we had no background knowledge and quite a different culture. We particularly loved his sharp wit, sense of humour and ability to discuss many topics from different angles.
