Vilnius is the only European capital founded on a dream, and this self-guided audio tour through Vilnius Old Town will let you walk that story from its origin at Cathedral Square to the Gate of Dawn. As you move through the streets, you'll stand on the exact tile where a 600 km human chain for freedom ended, step into the bohemian republic that declared independence on April Fool's Day, and trace the lost Jewish Quarter once known as the Jerusalem of the North. The route finishes at the Gate of Dawn, the last surviving medieval gate, which guards a painting long regarded as miraculous and which has outlasted armies sent to destroy the city.
There’s no fixed schedule and no group to keep up with — you press play when you're ready, pause for coffee on Pilies Street, and pick up right where you left off. The tour works offline so you can explore at your own pace. Over 20,000 travellers have used these self-guided tours, and a full refund guarantee is offered.
