Exclusive Lukiškės Prison Experience: Story You Can Taste
About event

History is not only seen and heard. It can also be smelled, and from now on – tasted.

Join an immersive 1.5-hour guided experience in English through the authentic corridors and grounds of Lukiškės Prison. Our guides will walk you through the complex’s timeline from its early 20th-century origins to its eventual closure and rebirth as Vilnius’ vibrant cultural quarter.

At the end of your walk, take a seat at the table for an authentic tasting experience. You will sample snacks directly inspired by the memoirs and personal testimonies of political prisoners, accompanied by a traditional beverage deeply rooted in everyday prison life. It is a rare glimpse into how prisoners survived, sustained hope, and preserved their humanity behind cold brick walls.
