Castle of Trakai

Trakai is situated about 25 km from Vilnius center and in the middle of five lakes. It is one of the most poular places because it is beautiful and quiet. But in summer time you will find it very noisy because of teh large tourist crowds that stumble through it. So it might be better to visit Trakai in mid-autumn/fall or in spring (April/May) ,if you do not like the noise. Trakai is an ideal place for water tourism. You can rent a yacht and have a pleasant trip to see all the beautiful places from a frog's perspective. Trakai is the centre of a national historical park, whose main goal it is to preserve the unique landscape.
