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.

Jak to działa: 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.
Jak tego uniknąć: Walk to the official taxi rank or book through Bolt or Uber in the app before leaving the terminal.
Jak to działa: Cafes and restaurants directly around Trakai Island Castle charge notably higher prices with smaller portions. Some present items without prices on the menu.
Jak tego uniknąć: Check the menu has clear prices before sitting. Walk a few blocks away from the castle for standard local pricing.
Jak to działa: Exchange booths near the castle and in Vilnius Old Town offer poor rates on cash conversion, effectively charging a high hidden margin.
Jak tego uniknąć: Use bank ATMs for cash in euros, which is already the local currency. Avoid cash exchange entirely if possible.
Jak to działa: 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.
Jak tego uniknąć: Confirm the total hourly rate in writing before renting and take a photo of any price list.

Vilnius International Airport
Uczciwa cena taksówki (oficjalna, w ciągu dnia): 25 € - 40 €. Use the official taxi rank outside arrivals or book via Bolt or Uber apps. Decline unsolicited offers from drivers inside the terminal who quote inflated flat rates.
Najlepsza alternatywa: 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. (3 €, około 70 min)
Napiwki: 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.
Opłaty za nakrycie i serwis: 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.
