Walking, cycling guide of magical Vilnius and tour-leader across the vibrant Baltics! Strong believer - in passionate story telling, - in the historically unique, freedom-loving region.
Vilnius - ONE of the kind in so MANY ways!
From the meeting point at the foot of Grand Duke GEDIMINAS at the Cathedral Square to the shiny glass-&-steel across the river, it tells stories of freedom-driven Lithuanians who -
- Stopped the Baltic Crusades (the rest of the world knows so little about)
- Formed peculiar community of peculiar religious and ethnic diversity (from Balts to Jews, from Pagan to Christian and Muslim)
- Always fought for freedom, no matter the size and the oppression of an enemy.
The Guru makes every effort to take into consideration -
- the composition of the group (by country, by interests, by capabilities)
- the weather (by temperature, by precipitation)
To make sure the Tour is comfy, cozy, friendly, engaging, tasty, warm, hospitable.
Let's meet at the foot of the Monument to Grand Duke Gediminas at the end of the Cathedral Square. Guru will wait with a bright rainbow umbrella.
Origins of the city - from pagan Baltic settlement to Royal capital of the Grand Lithuanian Duchy, the largest state in Eastern Europe. Oldest underground fortification of the medieval capital of Lithuania - witness of fights and victories in Baltic Crusades.
Secret halls and corridors, courtyards and towers of Vilnius University - the illustrated history of Baltic culture - the temple of the Golden Age of the Grand Lithuanian Duchy.
Užupis district across little river Vilnia - the origins of Vilnius crafts and trade (the true hub of medieval startupers), - the soul asylum of the outlaws of the oppressive soviet life, - the artistic community with self-proclaimed inner and outer independence (Republic of Užupis).
Spine of Vilnius Old Town - royal road between Lithuanian and Polish royal residencies, - historic border between Western and Eastern christianities, cultures, mindsets, - prime location of historic breaking points of the 20th century.
Main intersection of Vilnius - ethnic neighborhoods - German, Jewish, Slavic, and more, - calamities of the 20th century.
