Trakai District is an excellent choice for travellers looking for nature, water and peaceful countryside close to Vilnius. While Trakai itself is the main attraction of the area, the district stretches much further, with lakeside villages, forests, hillforts, rural retreats and quiet places by the water. It is an easy way to escape the pace of the city and experience Lithuania’s natural landscapes without travelling far from the capital.

The region is surrounded by lakes such as Galvė, Akmena, Margis, Ilgutis and Lukna, offering opportunities for swimming, fishing, boating and relaxing by the shore. Those looking for more activity can explore forest roads, countryside routes and walking or cycling trails. The Varnikų Educational Trail, close to Trakai, takes visitors through forest and wetland landscapes, while the Aukštadvaris Regional Park offers even more opportunities for hiking, exploring lakes and discovering the quieter side of the region.

The wider Trakai area also has plenty of cultural and historical character, with traditional villages, manor estates, hillforts and landscapes that reflect the region’s long history.
