Arriving by car

To reach Trakai by road from Vilnius, take the A1 (E85) highway west out of the city, followed by the A4 in the direction of Druskininkai before turning on to the A16 (E28) highway which takes you the rest of the way. Driving time depends on traffic, and can take anything from 20 minutes to an hour or more. There are several guarded parking places scattered around the town. A taxi from Vilnius, if called in advance, will cost 60-100Lt, and is well worth thinking about if you’re travelling in a group. To get to Trakai from Kaunas, take the A1 (E85) highway east towards Vilnius and peel off to the right onto route 107 just east of Vievis.
