Discover Lithuania’s most important historical landmarks on a full-day tour from Vilnius. Choose from two different itinerary options at the time of booking.

Choose the Kaunas and Cold War route to explore Kaunas Old Town, where you can see the Town Hall Square, historic churches, and the city’s charming central streets. Continue to the Ninth Fort, one of Lithuania’s most significant historical sites, connected with the Kaunas Fortress, Nazi occupation, and Soviet repression. Depending on the selected itinerary and opening times, enjoy a short stop in Šiluva, one of the country’s best-known pilgrimage towns. Finish the day at the Cold War Museum, located inside a former secret Soviet underground nuclear missile base.

Begin with a visit to Kernavė, Lithuania’s first medieval capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its archaeological hills and beautiful views over the Neris Valley. Continue to the famous Hill of Crosses, where thousands of crosses create one of the most unique and symbolic landscapes in Lithuania. The final highlight is the Cold War Museum, where you will enter the former missile launch complex and learn how nuclear weapons were stored and prepared during the Soviet era.

This long but rewarding day trip combines medieval history, religious heritage, occupation history, and Cold War secrets in one unforgettable journey across Lithuania.
