Escaping to prison has never been so easy.
The historic Lukiškės Prison complex, surrounded by a high fence, invites you for a walk.
Lukiškės Prison is not the answer to all questions. But who wouldn't want to visit it? Those interested in the daily life of prisoners in the former prison during its last years of operation are invited to a unique daytime tour, while those seeking sharper sensations are recommended a night experience. For those who want to delve even deeper, there's a historical tour introducing the more than a century-long history of Lukiškės Prison, its different periods, and the prison's architecture. Three different tour formats – three ways to get to know one of Vilnius's most unique places. An experience unparalleled in the entire region.
We can't shake the feeling that such a walk and journey in the footsteps of the condemned is the best kept secret in the entire city. We'll remind you that writer Žemaitė, signatories of the Lithuanian Act of Independence Jonas Vileišis, Mykolas Biržiška, and Vladas Mironas, partisan commander Adolfas Ramanauskas-Vanagas, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, and many other historical figures were imprisoned here.
Henrikas Daktaras was also imprisoned here, but you already know that fact.
Day and Night TourYou've probably heard stories about life in prisons, the criminal underworld, or Lukiškės many times. But who knows it all better than those who know Lukiškės Prison perfectly and worked here for quite a long time? Our prison guards spent a lot of time in Lukiškės and saw everything with their own eyes. Adding years of experience and connections from professional guides, they all become almost dream interlocutors. Don't be afraid to ask, and save your deepest questions for the tour.
