Discover the best of Vilnius and Trakai in one unforgettable private tour. Combining the historic capital of Lithuania with the spectacular medieval Trakai Island Castle, this 5-hour experience is perfect for travellers who want to see more than the usual city sights.
Start your adventure in Vilnius, Lithuania’s beautiful capital, and explore some of its most interesting places away from the main tourist routes. Climb the Hill of Three Crosses, one of the city's best viewpoints, and enjoy a panoramic view across Vilnius Old Town and the surrounding landscape.
Continue to St Peter and Paul’s Church, one of Lithuania’s finest examples of Baroque architecture. Admire its impressive interior and learn about the history behind this remarkable Vilnius landmark.
Then leave the city behind and travel to Trakai, a charming historic town surrounded by lakes. Stroll through the streets of the village, admire its traditional wooden houses, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere that makes Trakai a favourite destination for locals and visitors alike.
The main highlight is the magnificent Trakai Island Castle, a medieval fortress dramatically located on an island in Lake Galvė. Cross the bridge to the castle and discover the history of one of Lithuania’s most iconic landmarks.
During your visit to Trakai, your guide will also introduce you to the fascinating Karaim community, a small ethnic and religious community that has been part of Trakai's history for centuries. Learn about their traditions, culture, and distinctive wooden houses.
There is no planned lunch stop during the tour, allowing you to make the most of the 5-hour itinerary. If you would like to try traditional Lithuanian food, visit a local restaurant, or need a stop for snacks, please let us know in advance. You can also bring your own packed lunch.
This private tour is an excellent choice for first-time visitors who want to combine Vilnius sightseeing, Lithuanian history, local culture, beautiful landscapes, and Trakai Castle in a single experience.
