NB: The tour is conducted in English language.

Meet your guide on the stairs of Vilnius town hall and be introduced to the Jewish history of Vilnius. After getting to know your walking tour group and having a short overview of Jewish history in the city, the guide will take you through the narrow winding streets of the former Jewish Quarter to talk about Lithuanian Jews ('Litvaks') before World War II.

Gaze at photos of the past, depicting what was once a vibrant Jewish community in Vilnius. After this, you will go to see the site of the Great Synagogue of Vilna and the area where Vilna Gaon used to live. Learn how during World War II the Jewish quarter was divided into two ghettos. Visit both ghettos and learn about Nazi rule in Vilnius. Moreover, learn about the development of modern Jewish community as well as how Lithuanians are dealing with the history today.

If it's open, have the chance to visit the Vilnius Choral Synagogue (Please note that the synagogue may occasionally be closed to visitors during religious festivals/public holidays). It is about a 10-minute walk from the starting location. Afterwards, you have a few options: you can stay in the market area for lunch, visit the Jewish Museum, or return to the Big Ghetto area to explore the Jewish Cultural and Information Centre.
