A historical small-group tour through the four capitals of Lithuania, journeying through the Medieval, 20th Century and Prehistoric-eras of the country listening to stories and music.
A historical small-group tour from Vilnius to Trakai, Kaunas & Kernavė. Each of these capitals, however brief (Trakai told to be less than a decade) has a story to tell - from the ancient hill fort of Kernavė to the interwar capital of Kaunas.
Throughout this journey I will share the broad brush as well as pivotal moments which have shaped the beloved nation of Lithuania I now call home with my wife and son. I will also be playing songs, from eurovision to chants of the forest by the fire.
With the music and stories of everyday folk, I hope to bring you back in time to the Medieval, Soviet and even Prehistoric ways of life.
The itinerary will include:
09:50 - 10:20 Drive through the melting pot of Vilnius, first the UNESCO World-Heritage site Old Town and then the towering steel of the Central Business District.
10:20 Quick 10-minute coffee stop at Baltic Brew in the heart of the Karoliniškės Soviet blocks.
10:30 - 11:00 Drive to Trakai covering the medieval history of Lithuania, the Grand Duchy, Crusades and a Union with Poland.
11:00 - 12:00 Explore the Karaim heritage in Trakai, with castle entrance included.
12:00 - 13:00 Drive to Kaunas, and fast forward to the 20th century as we head to the interwar capital.
13:00 - 15:00 Enjoy 2 hours in Kaunas at your own pace. We will park just outside the castle and you will have the option to meet again for lunch with me after 1 hour or to simply rendezvous back at the vehicle. Recommendations made.
15:00 - 15:30 Short drive and stop at the Monument to Commemorate the Victims of Nazism. Brutalist style and unveiled in 1984.
15:30 - 16:30 Drive to Kernavė and teleport back to the prehistoric times when Lithuania was but dense forests, rivers and swamps.
16:30 - 18:00 Explore the hillforts of Kernavė UNESCO Archaeological site and the open air museum of medieval homesteads.
18:00 - 19:00 try not to fall asleep on the journey home..
