Bicycle routes between Trakai and Vilnius<\/h1>\n\n

Leaving Vilnius: 2 ways from the city centre to Lentvaris<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now there are two main versions to go from Vilnius to Trakai:<\/p>\n

There is no doubt about the first part<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Start from Cathedral square<\/strong> via Gediminas Prospektas Boulevard and the \u017dv\u0117rynas (District of Wooden Houses) to Vingis Park<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you come to the round about at the Main road Savanori\u0173 prospektas it’s time for a decision:<\/p>\n

\n

ROUTE 1:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The “traditional route” leads along Savanori\u0173 prospektas, then turn right at Titnagio St. use the very scenic “Old road” up the hill, cross the bridge over the motorway, turn right \u00a0and then ride on the the OId road (Lentvario St.) towards Trakai.<\/p>\n

\n

ROUTE 2:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The new version recommends you to cross the river and then find the small road “\u0160iltnamio g.) \u00a0that leads along the river and up to the “Ambulance hospital”.
\nFrom the hospital there is a bike path to Gari\u016bnai market. There you have to cross the road and ride until you pass the motorway. Here the bike path ends. Then you turn right towards the Supermarket \/ Storage “Maxima Baz\u0117” close to the motorway another bike path begins along side the motorway to Grig\u0161k\u0117s. Pass Grigi\u0161k\u0117s town and find the road that turns left to Lentvaris<\/p>\n

Advantage of route 2 :<\/strong> More bicycles paths<\/p>\n

Disadvantages:<\/strong> More hills (ups and downs), most parts along some mayor roads\/<\/p>\n

Both versions meet each other at the railway crossing in Lentvaris.<\/p>\n

From Lentvaris to Trakai there is a roadside bicycle path. But before you come to Trakai you can turn right and cycle to the Old Trakai Yacht club. From the parking infront of it two bridges bring you directly to the centre of Trakai (you’ll see the castle on the right)<\/p>\n
