Gallery ARKA: A Cultural Jewel in Vilnius

Getting There

• Walking

  From Trakai Island Castle, walk towards the bridge that connects the island to the mainland. Cross the bridge and continue straight along the main road, which will lead you to the town of Trakai. Once you reach the main road, take a left and follow the signs towards Vilnius. You'll see a bus stop where you can catch a bus to Vilnius. The walk should take approximately 15-20 minutes.

• Bus

  Once at the bus stop in Trakai, look for a bus heading to Vilnius. The buses are frequent, and the journey to Vilnius takes about 30-40 minutes. Make sure to have a valid ticket, which you can purchase from the kiosk at the bus station or on the bus itself (although it's often cheaper to buy in advance). Once you arrive in Vilnius, disembark at the 'Vilnius' main bus station.

• Walking from Vilnius Bus Station

  From the Vilnius main bus station, exit and head towards the city center. Walk straight along Geležinkelio g. (Railway Street) and follow the signs towards the Old Town. Continue walking until you reach Aušros Vartų g. (Gate of Dawn Street). Gallery ARKA is located at Aušros Vartų g. 7, which is about a 15-minute walk from the bus station.

• Car

  If you are driving, leave Trakai Island Castle and follow the signs for the A16 highway towards Vilnius. The drive will take approximately 30 minutes, depending on traffic. Upon arriving in Vilnius, navigate to Aušros Vartų g. and park nearby. Note that there may be parking fees in the area.
