About this activity
Explore Kaunas Old Town's darkest chapters on a 2-hour evening walking tour that uncovers centuries of local legends, supernatural tales, and hidden histories—from catacombs rumoured to echo with ghostly chains to streets marked by religious conflict and medieval crime. A uniquely atmospheric way to understand Lithuania's complex past through the stories locals still tell after dark.
The rumors about tinkling chains in the catacombs of Kaunas Castle are just a small part of the mystery that surrounds Kaunas Old Town. On a 2-hour ghost tour, you’ll walk through the historic area and hear even more legends, and about ghosts coming out after darkness falls to tell their secrets.
You’ll hear about the cruel punishments that awaited those who ran afoul of city officials, bloody fights between Catholics and Lutherans, vandalism, theft of the city treasury, and Jewish-Catholic troubles that ended in massacre.
See where the famous Kaunas smuggler lived, learn about the dirty practices of the St. Casimir Society, and hear some strange stories about witch hunting!
