Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly

Vilnius is one of Europe's most underrated solo destinations — the baroque old town (UNESCO) is extraordinarily beautiful, the Užupis artistic republic (its own "constitution" posted in 23 languages) is a delightful solo discovery, and the Museum of Occupations and Freedom Fights in the KGB former headquarters is one of the most powerful museum experiences in Eastern Europe. Very affordable and very welcoming.

Trakai Castle Day Trip

Nature

The most picturesque castle in Eastern Europe — a 14th-century red-brick island fortress in the middle of Lake Galvė, 28km from Vilnius. The train journey through Lithuanian forests, the kayaking on the lake, and the Karaim stuffed pastries (kibinai) from the lakeside restaurants make this the essential Vilnius day trip.
