VILNIUS, Lithuania (Reuters) — If you want to meet Hannibal “The Cannibal” Lecter, a Lithuanian tour firm can help.
In “Hannibal Rising,” the novel by Thomas Harris now made into a movie, the childhood and youth of the fictional man-eating serial killer are set in the Baltic state, and the firm is offering a themed visit to the Lithuanian capital.
“We hope to attract tourists who would be interested in visiting Lecter’s native land,” Aurimas Jukna, director of tourism agency Saules Kelias, said Thursday.
The tour includes a trip around Vilnius, a visit to a nearby estate for a “Hannibal feast” and a meeting with “Lecter.” The cost is $131, or 100 euros.
In “Hannibal Rising,” a prequel to “Silence of the Lambs,” Lecter is born into a noble Lithuanian family. He sees his sister killed and eaten by militiamen during World War II, a trauma that later turns him to murder and cannibalism.
