And if you’re looking for something more off-kilter – here’s an idea. Given the city’s growing popularity as a filming location for movies and TV series, you have the unique opportunity to see where your favourite shows were created. For instance, you can visit the decommissioned Lukiškės Prison and wander round the gloomy cells and corridors that featured in Season 4 of Stranger Things.

Or maybe you’re a fan of HBO’s Chernobyl? If so, you’re welcome to explore the Fabijoniškės neighbourhood, whether on your own or by taking a group tour. Learn about the series, get a sense of daily life in the Soviet era, hear true stories about the brave citizen “liquidators” – and even visit a former KGB prison. An unexpected look at Vilnius is guaranteed!
