Vilnius: Regular Walking Tour of Soviet Vilnius｜Lithuania

NB: The tour is conducted in English language.

The tour starts next to Gediminas monument at the Cathedral Square. As your guide takes you out of the Old Town you will see the former Palace of Concerts and Sports - a brutalist Soviet-era building which housed concerts and basketball games back in the day. Your tour continues along the river with some spectacular views towards the Green Bridge which used to be famous for its Soviet propaganda statues which were taken down recently.

You will explore places often overlooked by most travellers and discover the profound impact that Soviet rule had on the lives of ordinary people, as well as its influence on Lithuania's culture and architecture. The guides will show you where former Lenin's Square was located and how it has changed after the declaration of independence. And finally, you'll finish the tour next to Seimas (parliament building) which was one of the spots where Lithuanians defended their independence in 1991.
