What to expect
Vilnius Old Town
We will begin the tour driving through parts of the old town of Vilnius and explaining the rich history of the founding of the city and how that relates to the path of the nation of Lithuania and primarily the influences of religion and connection to Europe.
We will take a stop at Trakai town, with free time for guests to explore the town and lakeside, potentially to enjoy trying the famous kibinai and entering the island castle at an extra cost of 10€.
150 minutes
Hill of Angels
We will stop by the hill of Angels with over 40 wooden angels and crosses originally created in 2009 to commemorate two important milestones: Lithuania’s 1000th anniversary and the 600th anniversary of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Basilica in Trakai. Here we will enjoy panoramic views of Galvė Lake, Trakai Castle, the Basilica, and surrounding lakes—interestingly, from above the arrangement of local lakes resembles a large angel figure.
