During this tour, we will take you to the other side of the river a little further away from the old town where the most contrasting, rural area of Šnipiškės is hiding. This place is a heritage of Soviet urban planning when the new districts were created while some places around were completely untouched. Šnipiškės was somehow forgotten, so here you can still witness how a 19th-century wooden suburb of Vilnius looked like. Surprisingly, this unique area is just meters away from soaring skyscrapers, the most modern part of the city. Join us on this mind-blowing journey to the past and the future at the same time.
The 2-2.5 hour tour covers:
