Pre-tour of Vilnius on the 7th of May

A combined tour and site inspection program in Vilnius

10:00 - 10:30 Morning transfer to Vilnius Old Town

10:30 - 11:30 A guided tour in the bohemian district of Uzupis
All you need for this tour are comfortable shoes, a sense of curiosity and a camera! This tour will take you through the top attractions in the bohemian district of Uzupis - a beautiful neighborhood inhabited by artists, intellectuals and creatives.

Surprises await at every turn in this bohemian district: You can play the piano along the river, take a turn on the Destiny’s Swing, which hangs from the district’s main bridge, or read the Užupis Constitution in your own language.

 

The district declared independence on 1 April 1997, probably choosing that specific date to underline the humorous nature of the whole affair. The district has its own president, constitution, currency, anthem, border crossing, and honorary citizens. Don’t forget to take a photo of the Užupis Constitution in your language – it’s not every day that you see a constitution talking about the freedom to be lazy or a dog’s right to be a dog.

12:00 - 13:30 Lunch at the restaurant Lokys | Stories of Lithuanian cuisine
