Описание: Trakai Island Castle :

Experience the magic of Trakai Island Castle, the only island fortress in Eastern Europe!

In the heart of Lithuania, surrounded by the shimmering waters of Lake Galvė, sits a medieval masterpiece that looks like it was plucked straight from a fairytale. Once a formidable stronghold built by Grand Duke Kęstutis to defend against the Teutonic Knights, Trakai Castle has been resurrected from ruins to become the ultimate symbol of Lithuanian history and romanticism.

In this video, we explore the three layers of Trakai:
The Architecture: Walk across the wooden pedestrian bridge to the 14th-century red-brick fortress.
The History: Discover the legacy of Grand Duke Vytautas the Great and the unique Karaim people who have called this town home for over 600 years.
The Experience: From the 400,000 artifacts in the Trakai History Museum to tasting the legendary savory "kibinai" pastry, we’ll show you how to make the most of your visit.

Travel Tips for 2026:
Best Time to Visit: Late May or September for mild weather and perfect "golden hour" lighting.
Avoid the Crowds: Steer clear of the midday rush (11:00 AM – 3:00 PM) during the busy summer months of July and August.
Seasonal Warning: Be cautious of the "grey season" in November or the extreme -25°C temperatures in mid-winter.
