You emerge from a narrow street and the city opens — a worn cobblestone shaft leading past painted murals, bell towers and a hill crowned by Gediminas Castle Tower. The scavenger hunt turns the Old Town into a sequence of clues: a chapel’s carved relief, a plaque that points toward a bakery, a statue whose shadow marks the next riddle.
