Iron Wolf to Gate of Dawn Self Guided Tour of Vilnius
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Vilnius is the only European capital founded on a dream. This self-guided audio tour through Vilnius Old Town lets you walk that story from its origin at Cathedral Square to the Gate of Dawn, the last surviving medieval gate guarding a miraculous painting that has outlasted every army sent to destroy the city.
Along the way, you'll stand on the exact tile where a 600km human chain for freedom ended, step into a bohemian republic that declared independence on April Fool's Day, and trace the lost Jewish Quarter once known as the "Jerusalem of the North." No fixed schedule, no group to keep up with — just press play when you're ready, pause for coffee on Pilies Street, and pick up right where you left off, even offline.
If you'd rather linger over a story than be rushed past it, this Vilnius walking tour fits the way you actually travel. Over 20,000 travelers have explored with our self-guided tours, and a full refund guarantee means there's nothing to lose.

Quite okay. There is still a bit of room for improvement. The idea is good.

5.00We enjoyed taking this tour! The information given, map, and photos were all great. We felt like a personal guide was taking us around, giving us interesting tidbits about each spot. Definitely recommend! We took the tour together and had two phones, but used one at a time. We did the tour in cold weather and my phone started to lose battery so I’d recommend bringing a portable charger with you if you take the tour alone.
Great little tour

5.00Great little tour. You can dip In and out as you want or do it whatever time you wish. You can do it any order too (we started at stop 16 and worked backwards) but probably best to start at stop 1
Get to know Vilnius walking in peace
