The Old Town of Vilnius: A Self-Guided Audio Tour
Description
On this self guided audio tour, I’ll show you my hometown from a local perspective telling stories about it that I find fascinating along with some of my own, personal stories. We’ll start in the heart of the city, at Cathedral Square, then stroll through the cobbled streets of the old town and end at the Gate of Dawn. Throughout their history, Lithuania and the other Baltic states have followed a different path to the rest of Europe. It’s a path that’s not well-known to the wider world. But since Lithuania became independent in 1990, its capital Vilnius has opened up to the world, merging influences both local and international. You'll discover: • How we celebrate Vilnius’ Birthday • The independence of the Baltic states and why we consider it a miracle • Why Lithuanian hot chocolate is the best hot chocolate • Where to watch the stars and planets in Vilnius • The street with the best local craftsmen • Why a Vilnius hangman had up to seven wives

Really easy and flexible to use, great to have local knowledge. It was really cold so I needed to stop in a café to warm up with a hot chocolate (!) but it was easy to stop and start the audio guide
Excellent tour, nice insight, perfect to visit the old city and understand the basic history of the old town in a limited time. Thanks a lot
Your was easy to follow and gave good base information about the city and some key parts of it. Would recommend for anyone who enjoys touring alone or who prefers to start/stop as desired. Would do again!
