4.Hot Air Balloon Flight Over Trakai(transfer included) or Vilnius

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 55 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $211

Fly for about 60 minutes above Trakai or Vilnius after hotel pickup, with live commentary from an English-speaking pilot. Look for Lake Galve, its islands, and Trakai Island Castle, then return by road after a Champagne toast. Wind controls the route, so the castle view is hoped for, not guaranteed.

“Everyone apart of Hot Air Lines was so professional and friendly. It was truly an amazing experience and anyone that comes to Vilnius should fly with them. It is the most amazing views and a great time for anyone.”
