Today, I took a frosty day trip from #vilnius to #trakai, a charming lakeside town steeped in history. The highlight of the visit was of course the iconic Trakai Island Castle, perched on an island in the middle of Lake Galvė. Today of all days, the clear December sky beautifully mirrored the castle in the surrounding water. I wandered through the castle's halls, learning about its rich history as a medieval stronghold and a seat of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Afterwards, I visited a local eatery called Kybnylar and treated myself to a local Karaim specialty, kibinai—delicious stuffed pastries enjoyed by the local minority group. Trakai was a perfect mix of culture, history, and natural beauty—an unforgettable escape just a short bus or train ride from Vilnius! #castle #baltics #travel #thingstodo #localfood #daytrip

#europetrip #lithuania #trakai Trakai Castle, with its enchanting location on an island in the middle of Lake Galvė, feels like a fairytale brought to life. Built in the 14th century, it shares architectural similarities with the impressive Malbork Castle, both constructed in the Gothic style by the Teutonic Knights. Trakai’s red brick walls and towers reflect the turbulent history between the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Teutonic Order, making it a site of both beauty and historical significance. Visiting in July, despite the crowds, was a wonderful experience. The strong breeze across the lake added a refreshing touch as we enjoyed the sight of the shimmering water surrounding the castle, enhancing its magical appearance. Its strategic yet serene location, surrounded by water, truly sets Trakai Castle apart as one of Europe’s most captivating fortresses.

#2024wish Two years ago, my journey led me to the Trakai Island Castle in Vilnius, Lithuania, a place where history and fantasy converge. As I strolled along the cobblestone paths, the castle's red-brick façade emerged, surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of Lake Galvė. The air was filled with a sense of timelessness, transporting me to a fairytale landscape. Crossing the wooden drawbridge, I entered a realm of medieval charm. The castle's interiors, adorned with artifacts and echoes of the past, revealed the rich tapestry of Lithuania's history. Climbing the castle walls offered panoramic views of the idyllic surroundings, enhancing the enchantment of this historical gem. Trakai Island Castle became not just a destination but a vivid chapter in my personal fairytale of exploration. In 2024, I wish to visit Langkawi.

Trakai castle, Lithuania. Just 30 minutes train ride from Vilnius you can discover this beautiful castle built in a little island in a lake. With less than half an hour of walk from the train station you can have this wonderful view, and just with some more minute you can arrive in front of it and, if you want, visit it!! #castle #lithuania #travel #vilnius #lake

I came here as a VOLUNTEER ! To explore all that’s great in the Lithuania. I enjoyed this trip very much. Alot of places to shop for Souvenirs, Restaurants, and Activities ! I was in the mood for some breakfast and noticed how different some of the dishes were. Also, Drinks of course are different as well ( not in the pictures) I love me a nice cold drink of lemonade and theirs have a very unique taste to it. Trakai castle was very cool.. I learned alot about its history and it was very enjoyable to see Putin inside of the Well in shackles 😂 Last but not least I’ve done the boat rides but having to pedal yourself seemed to be therapeutic and easier than we thought. Loved ever bit of it. 10/10 I RECOMMEND COMING HERE ON YOUR NEXT TRIP !! #Castle #mytripvlog #2023travelwish

First of all, it's a castle, but isn't it cute because it's so mini? It seems to be the smallest castle I've seen so far. But it's on a lake, so it's romantic, so it's a plus point~! But when I went inside, the inside of the castle was well decorated. Each room, such as the chapel, museum, and memorial hall, had a theme, so it was quite fun to look around. This neighborhood is famous as a resort, so it might be nice to take a day off and visit the castle for a vacation. #Overseas travel #Lithuania #Vilnius #Trakai Castle

Trakai is a tourist destination, so basically the price range of restaurants seems to be about 1.5 times higher ㅠㅠ Don't do that. The restaurant I'm introducing today is a place where you can taste delicious oven-baked pizza at a good price! It's a restaurant called Bona Pizzeria, and it's located right in front of Trakai Castle, so the view of the castle is a bonus!👍👍🙌🙌 The price range is 8-10 euros, and the pizza is more delicious than the pasta☺️☺️ Address: Karaimų g. 53A, Trakai 21104 Atmosphere/Facilities: A space where you can enjoy a meal right in front of Trakai Castle! Special reason: Castle view🏰 It can be defined in one word. Average price per person: 8-10 euros Rating: 3.5/5 #Daytrip #GoodAtmosphere #TrakaiCastle #Restaurant #RestaurantExploration

Today, I visited Trakai and also saw the inside of the castle :) Trakai Castle is a historical castle built in the 14th century and is said to have been the center of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania👏👏 That's why there were various relics on display inside the castle❣️ The entrance fee is 6 euros for students If you visit Trakai, it would be good to see the inside of the castle too! #traveling #daytrip #trakaicastle

The old town of #trakai which is extremely popular with the residents of #lithuania and foreign guests is situated west of #vilnius between the hills, forests and lakes. This town, famous for its picturesque landscape and the legendary Trakai Castle, was a cradle of the Lithuanian statehood, an important military and political centre, headquarters of the Lithuanian Grand Dukes, and the capital of Lithuania. #trakai is also known for the Karaimes (a people speaking the Turkic language), who have lived there since the 14th century and have preserved their traditions. #unforgetabletrip #oldtown #happynewyear

Lithuania is a very special country. Historically, Russia has been battling in Northern Europe and Eastern Europe. It has experienced a glorious day, which makes Lithuanians very proud. I heard that in the thirteenth century, the King of Lithuania married the Polish princess and sat in the vast land of Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine today. Later, as the capital of Trakai, the castle was established as the center of the unified kingdom. After seven hundred years of time, we carefully looked at the castle of the lake that once occupied the nobles. The blue lake and the red castle are touching and touching. Through the small bridge through the moat into the inner city, you will feel the thickness of the city wall, the head is the conical spire watchtower, the inner city building is complex like a maze, the stairs are winding around, and the woman under the warm sun, all of a sudden People brought back to the Middle Ages, making people dream like dreams, dreams are the romance and luxury of the kingdom. Actually, Trakai is now a small town in the western suburbs of Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. Every weekend or public holiday, people will drive 20 kilometers to the lake and mountains and enjoy the scenery. There is never a chance to find a variety of small bars and cafes. Many tourists will choose to stay in Trakai Castle for a night and enjoy the evening breeze on the quiet lake and enjoy the Middle Ages. The treatment of Dagong.
