Full description
During this day tour you will be able to explore the most interesting sites located in the surrounds of Vilnius. After pick-up from your hotel, the tour will start at Paneriai memorial park, where thousands of Jews from Wilna were killed. The Paneriai or Ponary massacre was a mass murder of up to 100,000 people by German SD, SS and Lithuanian Nazi collaborators, during World War II. The murders took place between July 1941 and August 1944 near the railway station of Ponary, now known as Paneriai, a suburb of what is today Vilnius, Lithuania. After the tour in the park, the group will head to the second capital of Lithuania, where today you can see the most beautiful castle in Europe, Trakai Castle, located on an island in the lake. Here you can have the lunch in a traditional Karaim restaurant, or take a boat trip around the lake. After Trakai, the group will head to one of the largest ethnographic open-air museums in Europe that stretches across an area of 195ha. The museum was established on the picturesque shores of Kaunas Lagoon in Rumšiškės in 1966. The exhibitions at the museum are intended to introduce the ethnographic regions of Lithuania, i.e. Dzūkija (Dainava), Aukštaitija (Highlands), Suvalkija (Sudovia), Žemaitija (Samogitia) and Lithuania Minor, as they looked at the end of the 18th century and the first half of the 20th century. After this visit the tour will head back to your accomodation in Vilnius.

This should be called “Get Your Driver” rather than “Get Your Guide.” The driver simply stopped at the three sites, offering no explanation, sped away, and returned at a set time. The sites are really interesting but if you are looking for a “tour” and guidance, this isn’t the right option for you. Rumsiskes has virtually no explanation in English and the map is only in Lithuanian. Be ready to walk if you go there! In two hours you can see about 1/3 of it if you walk fast and are fairly efficient in your viewing of the exhibits. Trakai is beautiful. There are a lot of stairs to climb if you want to see all levels of the castle complex. Paneriai is very moving - now a peaceful and reflective place.
