Self-guided city games in Vilnius, Lithuania
World City Trail runs three self-guided games in Lithuania, all in the capital Vilnius: a scavenger hunt, an outdoor escape game and an audio walking tour.
The scavenger hunt starts at the Gates of Dawn and leads through Town Hall Square and Literatų Street to Vilnius Cathedral and the Palace of the Grand Dukes. Via the New Arsenal come Gediminas Tower, the Bernardine Garden and St Anne’s Church, then the Angel of Užupis across the Vilnia.

Why explore Vilnius with a self-guided city game
Vilnius has one of the largest old towns in Eastern Europe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a story at every corner. Legend says Grand Duke Gediminas founded the city after dreaming of an iron wolf, the Gates of Dawn are the last surviving gate of the city walls, and across the river Užupis declared itself a playful republic in 1997.
A self-guided city game gives you more freedom than a guided tour. You choose the start time, the pace and the order of the stops, and you can pause for a coffee and carry on later. The riddles make you look closely at façades and statues, and the stories explain what you just found.
- The route ends in Užupis, the artists’ quarter across the Vilnia, where cafés make a good spot to finish the day.
- Start the escape game in daylight, because its puzzles rely on details of buildings and monuments.
- Every stop is seen from outside, so you need no entry tickets.
