PRISON DE LUKIŠKĖS

Incredible: a prison just a stone's throw from the Old Town! From the beginning of the ^20th century until 2019, Lukiškės gaols kept political prisoners (including former Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin) and common criminals behind bars. Soon after its closure, this fortress was taken over by artists and creators to turn it into a place of joy rather than suffering. Guided tours are organized so as not to forget its original vocation. The prison was also used as a film location for season 4 of Stranger Things.
