Trakai is a small, safe lakeside town near Vilnius popular for its island castle. Tourist scams here are relatively minor, mostly centered around transport and dining near the castle. The main things to watch are unofficial rides from Vilnius and overpriced food and drink in the castle tourist zone.

рдпрд╣ рдХреИрд╕реЗ рдХрд╛рдо рдХрд░рддрд╛ рд╣реИ: Drivers approach arrivals inside Vilnius airport offering flat inflated rates to Trakai or Vilnius centre without a meter. Rates are often double the metered fare.
рдЗрд╕рд╕реЗ рдХреИрд╕реЗ рдмрдЪреЗрдВ: Walk to the official taxi rank or book through Bolt or Uber in the app before leaving the terminal.
рдпрд╣ рдХреИрд╕реЗ рдХрд╛рдо рдХрд░рддрд╛ рд╣реИ: Cafes and restaurants directly around Trakai Island Castle charge notably higher prices with smaller portions. Some present items without prices on the menu.
рдЗрд╕рд╕реЗ рдХреИрд╕реЗ рдмрдЪреЗрдВ: Check the menu has clear prices before sitting. Walk a few blocks away from the castle for standard local pricing.
рдпрд╣ рдХреИрд╕реЗ рдХрд╛рдо рдХрд░рддрд╛ рд╣реИ: Exchange booths near the castle and in Vilnius Old Town offer poor rates on cash conversion, effectively charging a high hidden margin.
рдЗрд╕рд╕реЗ рдХреИрд╕реЗ рдмрдЪреЗрдВ: Use bank ATMs for cash in euros, which is already the local currency. Avoid cash exchange entirely if possible.
рдпрд╣ рдХреИрд╕реЗ рдХрд╛рдо рдХрд░рддрд╛ рд╣реИ: Independent boat rental operators on the lakes near the castle may quote prices per hour that are not published anywhere, leading to disputes at return time.
рдЗрд╕рд╕реЗ рдХреИрд╕реЗ рдмрдЪреЗрдВ: Confirm the total hourly rate in writing before renting and take a photo of any price list.

рд╕рдмрд╕реЗ рдЕрдЪреНрдЫрд╛ рд╡рд┐рдХрд▓реНрдк: Bus or train from Vilnius to Trakai via Vilnius city centre; from the airport take bus 1 or 2 to the railway station, then the Trakai train. (тВм3, рд▓рдЧрднрдЧ 70 рдорд┐рдирдЯ)
рдЯрд┐рдк рджреЗрдирд╛: Not expected but appreciated for good service. Round up the bill or leave 5 to 10 percent in restaurants and cafes. Taxi drivers do not expect tips.
рдХрд╡рд░ рдФрд░ рд╕реЗрд╡рд╛ рд╢реБрд▓реНрдХ: No cover or service charge is standard in Lithuania. Check that the menu shows prices; some lakeside cafes near the castle charge a premium without an obvious menu outside.
Always choose to be charged in euros and decline dynamic currency conversion. Prefer ATMs attached to major bank branches. Independent ATMs in tourist areas may carry higher fees, so check the screen before confirming.
