🗣 Vilnius: the guide here isn't just for listening — you can ask it things

Looking at “Vilnius Old Town” and not sure what you're seeing? Just ask out loud. The guide answers about exactly what's in front of you — and you can interrupt it mid-sentence, like a real person.

Your first conversation doesn't use minutes.

🎧 One tour — in everyone's own earphones

Start the guide and invite your people — up to six of you together. Nobody crowds around the guide or has to ask what was just said: everyone hears equally well, each through their own earphones and their own phone. Everyone can listen and talk to the same live guide.

Minutes are used only by the person who started the guide and created the group.

🗺 What’s nearby — on the map

Turn on location and the guide shows what’s worth seeing around you, on a map. Tap a place right on the map and the story starts about that very spot. Recorded tours have the map too, so you always see what’s being described.

Ask the guide about Vilnius

🎙 Vilnius can speak in the voice of someone close to you

Record 20–40 seconds of speech — Destino will create a copy of your voice. Share it with loved ones or ask them to record their voice for you. Your voice narrates not only bedtime tales but recorded city tours too — and you can share them with a link.
Creating a voice and a short preview don't use your balance.

Vilnius, the capital and largest city of Lithuania, boasts a beautiful baroque Old Town recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nestled along the River Neris, this vibrant city is rich in history and offers a wealth of sights reflecting its complex past, making it a must-visit destination.

What to see in Vilnius: the Old Town on the hills, the Republic of Užupis and a castle on a lake

Vilnius has one of the largest old towns in Eastern Europe, and it doesn't sit on a grid: streets bend around hills, courtyards open behind gates, and a church appears at every turn. Baroque dominates, but the most photographed building is Gothic. Give yourself two days and comfortable shoes.

Cathedral Square and Gediminas Hill

The city begins at Cathedral Square: the white classical cathedral with its separate bell tower, and behind it the hill with Gediminas Tower — the surviving piece of the upper castle, and the classic view over the roofs. Pilies street runs from the square into the Old Town: cafés, amber shops, the university quarter with its thirteen courtyards, and the Presidential Palace.

St. Anne's, Užupis and the Gates of Dawn

St. Anne's Church is the one to look for: red-brick Gothic so delicate it looks like lace, with the Bernardine church behind it. Cross the little river Vilnia and you are in Užupis — the artists' district that declared itself a republic on 1 April, complete with a constitution on a wall in a dozen languages. Back on the main axis, Aušros vartų street ends at the Gates of Dawn, the only surviving city gate, with the chapel and its icon of the Madonna above the arch.

Beyond the Old Town

How much time to allow

With Destino you walk the Old Town at your own pace: the guide talks about what's in front of you, and you can interrupt and ask at any moment — in English, right in your browser.

Vilnius in English: a tour in your language

The guide talks about Vilnius in English — the text and the voice. You can ask questions in English too, by voice, in the middle of the tour. The same in all 39 cities where Destino works: the guide speaks English with you rather than translating from the local language.

If someone with you prefers another language: the interface comes in eight, and narration, the live guide and tales speak twenty-two — Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Czech, Japanese and more. You choose the narration language separately from the interface language.
