What places you will see
- The walk will start from Freedom Square, where you can see one of the visiting cards of the city - the building of the Summer Amphitheater. It is here, every summer, for 30 years now that the famous festival "Slavianski Bazaar" has been held.
- You will learn everything: from its origins to the latest news, how the famous festival was born, what impact it has on the life of the city today.
- Let's walk along one of the smallest streets of the city - Zamkovaya, and go to the most ancient temple - the Church of the Annunciation. The history of the church dates back to the second half of the XII century. I will tell you about the tragic history of the temple and the current state.
- Literally across the road you will see the next point of our route - the Drama Theater named after Yakub Kolas. One of the first theatrical troupes on the territory of modern Belarus began to operate here. This is a bright monument of classical architecture, which even now never ceases to delight the viewer with vivid performances.
- Let's take a walk along the Pushkin Bridge, and I will definitely tell you what the famous Russian writer had to do with our city.

Through Krylov Street we will go straight to the main shrine of the city - the Assumption Cathedral. This is a majestic architectural monument of the Vilna baroque, which proudly soars over the banks of the Western Dvina.
We will walk along the beautiful and calm Putna Street, which blooms in the spring and summer: here you will not meet crowds of tourists, but you can enjoy peace and tranquility.
