A route to shape around your client

A Vilnius city break can include Trakai without moving hotels. Four nights in the Lithuanian capital make room for the old town, local neighbourhoods and a full day by Lake Galvė, where sailing can be added when the season and wind allow.

The outline allows 4 nights, including arrival and departure planning. Keep the sequence, extend a favourite base or change the balance of activity and downtime. This is an illustrative FIT journey for travel agents; accommodation, transport and experiences are selected for the final brief.

A flexible starting point

Keep four nights in Vilnius and use a private transfer for the lake day. Sailing depends on weather and vessel suitability. The spare city day allows the excursion to move if needed.

Culture & Community

We can tailor this outline, combine it with another route, or design a new programme from scratch.
