Festive Day Trips in Lithuania

But festive fayre is not limited to the big cities. A simple bus-ride, train journey, or car ride can take you to: Trakai, a town 30-minute drive from Vilnius, looks straight out of fairytale in wintertime. The town’s snow-covered medieval castle, frozen lakes, twinkling lights, and picturesque streets make it a perfect place for a magical day trip. Kirkilai Amusement Park in Northern Lithuania transforms into a festive wonderland every December. Meeting Santa Claus and his deer, riding carousels, and admiring ice sculptures are only a few of the many fun activities on offer. If you’re closer to the seaside, Dino Park near Klaipėda hosts the annual winter festival of glowing dinosaurs, featuring spectacular light installations, a mirror maze, and Santa’s post office.
