Begin your adventure by meeting your guide at the famous Green Bridge. Continue your way up to the Soviet built Vilnius city centre and learn many personal stories of life back then. As you go further, the modern skyscrapers provide an amazing background for the Soviet buildings. Then you'll head to the 19th-century “Skansen” district of the Snipiskes neighborhood. “Skansen” means open-air museum, but this area is no museum.
