Latest Trakai hotel reviews
Helpfulness
During my second visit (by a car) to Lithuania, in June 2004, I visited a few off the beaten paths and I wanted to spend a night at Trakai but there was NO vacancy at any hotel there. By the way it was Thursday, not weekend.
I was driving like crazy from one hotel to another in the early evening and... everywhere I was told: sorry, NO VACANCY. I asked about other accommodations in Trakai but I was told: hmm... probably they all had been already fully booked.
Unique Suggestions: Don't be nervous like me in the 3rd hotel haha, keep smiling and drive to Vilnius where there were many more hotels, although... many fully booked as well.
Keep in mind that both Trakai and Vilnius was mostly visited by thousands of Polish visitors during Polish long weekends that was close to:
- 1-3 May,
- in June when Corpus Christi catholic holiday is (always on Thursday, I was just that time!)
- in August (15th is catholic holiday).
Expect no vacancy and book in advance for these days!
Fun Alternatives: Book in advance! More in my Hotels & Accommodations tips.
