Trakai｜A Fairy Tale World Floating on a Lake

I visited Trakai, a popular day-trip destination from Vilnius! The Trakai Castle, floating on the lake, offers a magical view that looks like something straight out of a video game ✨ This place, where the medieval atmosphere still lingers, is perfect for photography enthusiasts 📸 It seems to be a classic tourist spot for Lithuanians as well, bustling with families on weekends♪ ⸻ 🚉【Access】 ・From Vilnius by bus: About 40 minutes / €2.6 per person ・From Vilnius by train: About 35 minutes / €2.8 per person ※ This time, I took the bus on the way there and the train on the way back to enjoy both🙌 The train is quieter and more comfortable, but the bus has more frequent services and is more convenient! ⸻ 🥟【Local Specialty: Kibinai】 Kibinai, a pastry filled with meat and baked, originated in Trakai! There are many specialty shops around the castle where you can enjoy freshly baked Kibinai 😊 Not only meat, but also cheese and vegetable fillings are available, and they were all delicious! ⸻ ✨【Highlights】 ・The beautiful castle surrounded by the lake is a photogenic spot ・A leisurely stroll along the lakeside is refreshing ・The inside of the castle is a museum where you can learn about history
