Vilnius and Trakai Day Tour

Begin the day with breakfast at your hotel before heading out to explore Vilnius, Lithuania’s capital, known for its well-preserved Baroque Old Town, one of the largest in Europe. The city combines historical architecture with a lively atmosphere, shaped by its cultural heritage and artistic energy. Your guided walking tour covers key landmarks, including the Cathedral Basilica, Vilnius University, and the striking St. Anne’s Church. Stop at Gediminas Tower for panoramic views of the city and visit the Gate of Dawn, a significant religious site. Walk through the Republic of Užupis, a neighborhood celebrated for its bohemian character. Filled with street art, small galleries, and cozy cafés, it offers a glimpse into the city’s creative side. In the afternoon, travel to Trakai, a scenic town surrounded by lakes. Visit Trakai Island Castle, a Gothic fortress set on Lake Galvė, once a key stronghold of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Walk across the bridge to explore the castle and enjoy views of the surrounding landscape. Return to Vilnius in the evening for dinner at a local restaurant, where you can try traditional Lithuanian dishes like cepelinai, before going back to your hotel for the night.
