About this tour
This session walks Pilies Street and steps into a quieter courtyard just off it. You see the shopfronts lining one of the old town's busiest streets, then original paintwork uncovered during restoration in a courtyard most people walk past. It is a short walk pairing the obvious with the overlooked.
I open with a sound check on the street, then step into the courtyard for a slower, more detailed look, answering questions throughout. A short note on the restoration work follows by message afterwards.
It suits anyone wanting to see beyond the main street. It also pairs well with a Literatų Street session.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Beetroot soup (šaltibarščiai) and Old Town, worth a slower look.
Good to know
