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.

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.

entertaining and informative 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.
