Go just 28 km from Vilnius to the west and visit old Lithuanian capital Trakai. It‘s located between three lakes. The two castles which have survived from the Middle Ages are the most famous works of defensive architecture in Lithuania. The restored Island Castle (late 14th and early 15th century) is the only one of its kind in the East of Europe. Also the restored Manor of count Tiskiavicius is found on  the Galve lake shore. However, for many it‘s good rest  place, where history and great nature comes together.
