Night walk in Lukiškės in Lithuanian

Escaping to prison has never been so easy.

The historic Lukiškės Prison complex, surrounded by a high fence, invites you for a walk.

Lukiškės Prison is not the answer to all questions. But who wouldn't want to visit it? Those interested in the history, architecture, and daily life of prisoners are invited to a unique daytime tour, and for thrill-seekers, the night experience is highly recommended. Two different walking formats – an experience with no analogues in the entire region.

We cannot shake the feeling that such a walk and trek in the footsteps of convicts is the best-kept secret in the whole city. Let us remind you that the writer Žemaitė, signatories of the Act of Independence of Lithuania Jonas Vileišis, Mykolas Biržiška, and Vladas Mironas, partisan leader Adolfas Ramanauskas-Vanagas, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, and many other historical figures were imprisoned here.

Henrikas Daktaras was also imprisoned here, but you already know that fact.

Day and night walk

Many times we have had to listen to stories about life in prisons, the criminal world, or Lukiškės. But who knows everything better than those who know Lukiškės Prison perfectly and worked here for quite a long time? Our prison guards spent a considerable amount of time in Lukiškės and saw everything with their own eyes. Adding the many years of experience and connections of professional guides, they all become almost dream interviewees. Don't be afraid to be curious and save your deepest questions for the walk.

Death row cells, visitation rooms, human-containers, surgeries, historical figures, prohibited items, horses, love affairs, secret artworks, prisoner weddings, prison escapes, and never-before-seen spaces of Lukiškės Prison.

After the sun goes down, the prison is truly haunted and becomes even more interesting. This is more than an escape room, a tour, or a night at the museum. An interactive walk in the dark – you, the walls of Lukiškės Prison, and a flashlight. We assure you that this is a walk you will definitely remember for the rest of your life. Walk by day and by night! Take care of your tickets in advance. It is definitely worth it.
