Night Walk at Lukiškės Prison in Lithuanian

Escaping to prison has never been this easy. The historic Lukiškės Prison complex, surrounded by high walls, invites you for a walk. Lukiškės Prison doesn't have all the answers. But who wouldn't want to visit? Those interested in the prison's history, architecture, and the daily life of inmates are invited on a unique daytime tour, while thrill-seekers are highly recommended to experience it at night. Two different walk formats — an experience unmatched anywhere in the region. We can't shake the feeling that this walk, tracing the footsteps of the convicted, is the best-kept secret in the entire city. A reminder that writer Žemaitė was imprisoned here, as were signatories of the Lithuanian Act of Independence Jonas Vileišis, Mykolas Biržiška, and Vladas Mironas, partisan leader Adolfas Ramanauskas-Vanagas, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, and many other historical figures. Henrikas Daktaras was imprisoned here too — but you already knew that. Day and Night Walks You may have heard stories about prison life, the criminal underworld, or Lukiškės. But who knows it better than those who are intimately familiar with the prison and worked there for quite some time? Our prison guards spent a great deal of time at Lukiškės and saw everything with their own eyes. With years of professional guiding experience and connections, they become almost dream companions. Don't be afraid to ask questions — save your deepest ones for the walk itself.

Adresas: Lukiškių kalėjimas 2.0, Vilnius
