These tours are usually on foot, as the city center is very compact. The average cost of such tours is 24–26 EUR per person. Over 3–4 hours, you will be guided along the main streets of the Lithuanian capital and introduced to classic landmarks such as Castle Hill and Užupis.
For those who want to explore not only medieval Vilnius but also the modern districts of the city. Another popular type of bus tour is to Trakai, famous for its castle, or Kaunas — the former capital of Lithuania.
Unusual tours in Vilnius (cost — from 20 EUR per person) take place in the city’s underground passages. The most famous catacombs are located beneath the Cathedral at the foot of Castle Hill, where Polish and Lithuanian princes were buried, including the legendary Polish queen Barbara Radziwiłł.
Equally colorful undergrounds are found beneath the Church of the Holy Cross (next to which there was a hospital for the mentally ill, giving rise to many city legends). By the way, a spring still exists in this basement, whose water was used to treat the sick.
