To visit Lithuania and not see the Trakai castle is simply not mental! The castle is located about 40 km from Vilnius on the island, which at one time made it absolutely impregnable.
For those who travel on their own, I advise you to arrive early, before the opening of the castle (10.00). At this time, there are even fewer people, but then tourist groups go literally one after another. The castle is very well preserved and has been competently restored. Along the entire perimeter of the courtyard there are many wooden passages designed for 1.5 people - in order to pass each other, you need to cling to the railing all the time. Inside there are many beautiful expositions that tell about the life of the prince and his entourage. For example, there is a rich collection of smoking pipes. Guides tell a lot of legends and tales, give a lot of figures...But the main figure of the castle is Vytautas...The Grand Duke, who turned Lithuania into a European superpower.
This castle is not only worthy of your attention, it is simply a must-see!
