The “Explore Vilnius” session will conclude the conference with a guided walking tour of the city’s historic center. The route begins at the Gates of Dawn, traditionally considered the symbolic entrance to the old town, and continues through key cultural and historical sites including the Orthodox Church of the Holy Spirit, Vilnius Town Hall Square, the former entrance to the Vilnius Ghetto, and the historic Jewish quarter. Participants will also pass by the Presidential Palace, Vilnius Cathedral, and St. Anne's Church, before concluding in the Užupis district. The tour offers a structured overview of Vilnius’ historical layers and architectural landmarks, providing context to the city beyond the conference setting, while also creating an informal environment for participants to interact, exchange impressions, and continue discussions beyond the formal sessions.
