I will play music along the journey, from eurovision to songs of the forest by the fire, and then in Trakai there is free time to explore including optional castle entrance (14€ in high season) as well as lunch with me at a classic traditional spot! On the way home we will stop by the Hill of Angels, a site built in 2009 devoted to spirituality and to celebrate Lithuania’s ‘anniversary’. Looking forward to hosting you!
