Night in the USSR

Filed Under Lithuania | Comment

 3,000 m2 bunker 5 meters bellow ground in the outskirts of Vilnius. The Bunker: a night of survival where USSR revives…Would you like not only to see, but experience firsthand what the life was like back then? Will you dare to spend a night in a prisoners’ bed with 30 other “Soviet prisoners” in the same room?

In an enclosed 3 hectare territory in a forest near Vilnius, there is a 3,000m2 secret two-level underground labyrinth built in the 80’s at the time of the Cold War as an alternative TV station to be used in case of nuclear war between USSR and USA. There was no war in the end, and in 1991 the bunker was occupied by the Soviet army while Lithuania fought for its independence. Lithuania regained its independence and became a member of the EU. Since then, the project “1984. Survival drama’ has attracted thousands of visitors and foreign media. But in the night only residents of the bunker are bats.

In the evening, upon your arrival to the bunker, you will be met by Soviet guards with dogs. For 13 hours you will part with all you are in this century; all your stuff, your cameras and cell phones. Dressed in grey Soviet threadbare clothing you will be given Soviet towels, toothpowder and some soap. You will enter the life of a simple Soviet citizen full of fear and uncertainty. You will be led through a maze of reinforced concrete slabs 5 meters down under, you’ll see Soviet television broadcasts and visit shops from 1984, learn the anthem of USSR, you’ll get used to carrying around a gas mask.

After the 2 hour show, an authentic Soviet dinner awaits you, served on authentic tableware of the times with a glass or two…. At the dinner table soviet KGB officers will entertain themselves singing nostalgic Soviet songs. You might want to dance or to sing along. But after the relaxing dinner, in the night, the KGB night interrogations will start … Will you betray somebody or will you be betrayed?

The survival night in the Bunker will end in the morning: European breakfast with real coffee, cereal and a fresh croissant will mark your return to freedom.

“Night in the USSR”(Survival in the Soviet Bunker), is not for the weak, not for anyone under 18 and even not for every senior. Attendance is not recommended if you suffer from heart problems, asthma, epilepsy or claustrophobia.

Winter Vacation in Lithuania

Filed Under what the press say ... | Comment

The fact that there are no mountains in Lithuania winter holidays here seem to nave low importance. The only exception can be made for the season of Christmas holidays. In this very season tourists basically from neighboring Russia, Belarus and Poland come here to celebrate the New Year in Vilnius or Kaunas and to have fun in numerous cafes of the Old City. Moreover as a rule the tourists are offered standard excursions round the main sights of these cities in addition to shopping in the biggest supermarkets.

However Lithuania is able to offer a tourist more ways of having rest in winter rather than usual dance round the New Year tree or a shopping fever. It’s is known that more and more tourists prefer a week holiday somewhere in a quiet place near the forest to a noisy and very often tiresome tour.

Lithuania offers several variants of such vacation. Its most popular health resort of Druskininkai is attractive not only in summer but also in frosty January. The season here is not restricted to summer months, it continues all the year round. Skiing along the outskirts of the resort is also as attractive as cycling.
Another famous resort of Birshtonas has done more to attract tourist’s attention and except for some skiing tracks it has organized a real downhill track. It begins at the top of a hill which is 40 meters high and its general length is 160 meters. It’s clear that Birshtonas is not the Alps. But this track is able to diversify a quiet rhythm of this spa-resort.

A good winter tour round Lithuanian cities can become a bright event. A tourist can make it either alone or using the service of any tour agency. In any case such excursions as the one along the town Anikschai (an old railway, the Museum of horses, the downhill track on the hill of Kaletos) or another one round an old Lithuanian capital Kyarnava which is considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in Lithuania are really good and can suit anybody’s taste.
