Can I enter all objects on the route?

You can enter the Restaurant Neringa, and the two museums along the route - Venclova House-Museum and Museum of Occupations and Freedom Fights. Please check their opening times.

Lukiškės prison 2.0 has a yard that you can enter if there are no events happening, but entrance inside the prison can only be done with certified guides so walkthroughs must be booked in advance on their website.

If you wish, you can enter St. Johns' Tower, Vilnius Cathedral, and St. Nicholas Church. Please be mindful that mass is held at scheduled times in the churches - please be mindful, respectful and quiet. Check the opening times and all related information here.

Sąjūdis HQ may also be visited upon booking in advance. All information can be found here.

No. Normally, the route should only remain outside of the listed objects. However, each route has some exceptions:

By the way, if you see this sign

it means you can enter during opening hours

Is the tour route wheelchair accessible?

The route itself is fully wheelchair accessible. Restaurant Neringa is fully wheelchair accessible and you can enter it easily for a meal or a coffee. Nevertheless, the entrance to museums along the route is not wheelchair accessible.

Both the Venclova House-Museum and the Museum of Occupations and Freedom Fights are not wheelchair accessible, but you can still listen to our audio while next to them and entrance is not necessary to learn about the dissident life.

Lukiškės prison 2.0 - the last stop on the route - has a yard that can be accessed during opening hours and is appropriate for wheelchairs, but further entrance can only be granted with an in-advance booking. Please check with their guides in advance to see if your needs can be met.

The route itself is fully wheelchair accessible, but keep in mind it takes place in Old Town of Vilnius where cobbled stone streets are common.

NOTE: entrance to St. Johns' Bell Tower is not appropriate for people with mobility disabilities as it includes climbing steep stairs/ladders.

NOTE: entering Sąjūdis HQ is also not wheelchair accessible.

Entering these buildings is not necessary, however - the audio tour itself will provide with enough information on its own. Entrance is only recommended.
