Zemgale – Aukstaitija: where wholesome food comes from

Vilnius-Trakai-Vilnius

Tour the most important destinations in Vilnius, as well as the Trakai lake castle, which is the only castle of its type in Eastern Europe that is built on a small lake island.  Presumably work on the castle began in the late 14th century.  After a battle in 1410, when the Polish and Lithuanian military under King Jagailis defeated a force from the German Order, the castle lost its strategic military importance.  Today, the Trakai lake castle is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Lithuania.  It features a museum with information about the history of the region.  You will spend the night in Vilnius.
