Jim's Saturday Tour from Vilnius to Trakai and Hill of Angels

Join a historical and musical bus journey to Trakai and discover the rich history of Lithuania. On the way, you will drive through the Soviet era blocks of Vilnius and pass the UNESCO heritage site of the Old Town, learning about key events that shaped the country, including the Teutonic Knights, the union with Poland, basketball, and life during the Soviet period. The tour is family friendly with only about one hour on the bus each way, making it easy for children and infants with appropriate car seats.

In Trakai you can spend two and a half to three hours exploring the town. You may choose to join a visit to a local restaurant to try traditional Lithuanian dishes, and if you like, you can visit Trakai Castle for a small fee. On the return journey, we will stop briefly at the Hill of Angels, built in 2009 to promote devotion and celebrate Lithuania's thousand year history. The tour combines history culture and local flavors, making it perfect for families and curious travelers alike.
