Optional stop€37 per hour
Riga to Vilnius private transfer, with Rundāle, the Hill of Crosses and Trakai
A door-to-door transfer between two Baltic capitals, with up to four sights on the way, from Baroque palaces to an island castle.
Full Day 7 stops to choose from Both directions, same price
From €415 per vehicle including one sightseeing stop
The direct road to Vilnius (E67 and A2) passes Bauska and Panevėžys. It covers 294 km in about 3.5 hours of driving and crosses the border at Grenctāle without stopping.
Turning that into a sightseeing day is easy, because the best stops are almost on the route:
- Bauska Castle and Rundāle Palace, within 80 km of Riga;
- the Hill of Crosses, a short detour west near Šiauliai;
- Trakai Island Castle, 28 km before Vilnius on Lake Galvė.
Trakai is the 14th-15th century red-brick seat of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania. Have lunch there: the town’s Karaim community is known for kibinai, small baked pastries filled with meat or vegetables.
You choose the stops and how long to stay at each, and the driver keeps the timing. The trip ends at your address in Vilnius, whether that is a hotel in the Old Town, an apartment or Vilnius Airport. It runs at the same price from Vilnius to Riga.
