Between the 12th and 18th century Vilnius, political centre of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, had a great impact on the cultural and architectural development of Eastern Europe. Despite all invasions and partial destructions the city has preserved an impressive complex of buildings of the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Classical periods, as well as medieval buildings and natural resources. All of that contributed to the inscription of the historic city centre in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994.

During the tour you will visit one of the oldest universities in Western Europe, Vilnius University. You will admire churches, squares, narrow streets and temples of various confessions (the Cathedral, the Gates of Dawn, Church of Ss. Peter and Paul, Gediminas Castle, Town Hall Square, St. Anne’s Church, Bernardine Monastery, Rasos Cemetery).

The Curonian Spit, a unique creation of man and nature, was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000 and is a peninsula (about 98 km in length and 0,4-4 km in width) stretched on the territory of two countries – Lithuania and Russia (Kaliningrad region). Lithuania owns 50 km of the north of the peninsula. We will also visit the Sea Museum, Dolphinarium, watch how a sundial works or take a boat trip (try cooking a fish soup and visit the bird ringing station).

Kernavė, a small place that witnesses unique cultural traditions of extinct civilizations, was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2004. Kernavė is the only town in the Baltic States located on five hill forts; it is also the first capital of Lithuania. Moreover, Kernavė has a status of National Reserve, where archaeological excavations take place continually for almost 30 years now, and the local Museum of Archaeology and History has a great number of unique artefacts.
