About Open House Vilnius

Open House Vilnius weekend has been taking place in the capital city of Lithuania since 2015. Each spring the city, which is famous for its unique Baroque architecture and Old Town listed among UNESCO World Heritage sites, reveals its different faces and invite city residents and guests to explore its architecture beyond usual narratives.

This challenging year, “Open House Vilnius” took place on the 11–12th of July and invited the visitors to participate in 9 guided and 3 autonomous walking tours. During these architectural strolls, the buildings and the streets of Vilnius narrated their stories.

The attendees of Open House Vilnius visited, explored and appreciated exceptional pieces of architecture, including the newest iconic buildings, interiors, intriguing examples of Soviet Modernism and fascinating pearls of the historic old town. Additional art events helped people to learn more about their nearest surroundings and to engage themselves with the authentic character of the city.

The programme of the weekend is still available on the Open House Vilnius website. Open House Vilnius is initiated and organised by the volunteer-based, non-governmental, not-for-profit organisation Architektūros fondas, in collaboration with the Lithuanian Council for Culture and the Municipality of Vilnius.
