Vilnius for children

If you have children and want to introduce them to the Old Town, but don’t know how to do it in a fun way, try this city experience route-game.

It is ideal for families with children aged 7-10. Along the route, the little ones are encouraged to take note of 15 small but extremely interesting city highlights – sculptures of puppies, teddy bears, mermaids, a ‘height check’ with the great Neris flood, a petting of a cat’s nose, but most importantly, they are invited to get to know the city through adventurous tasks.

If you want to walk around and complete the tasks without a smart device, you can pick up Vilnius for Children map at the Tourist Information Centres.
