Photos of the Trakai Island Castle Museum in Lithuania

This photo review is the result of a visit to the Trakai medieval castle. Trakai is a famous city located in 27 kilometers away from the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius, so it is a convenient a day trip from there. Only half an hour drive in a shuttle bus - and you find yourself in a cozy and pretty town, which is a pearl of the so-called "lake region" of Lithuania.

Pictures of the revived historical canvases open up before the eyes: the largest surviving to this day knight castle in Lithuania, tournaments, battles and the tranquility of nature - what can be more suitable for a family vacation? Fresh and clean air and the preservation of the landscape can reveal their secrets to an attentive and curious explorer. This visit is also a great opportunity to explosre the  Lithuanian national cuisine.
