Vilņa – Traķi – Rumšiškes – Kauņa
The Trakai lake castle 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.
The Karaite Ethnographic Museum is based on a small Turkish nation that emerged in the 8th century in Persia. The Karaite language is still spoken in Lithuania, and the museum focuses on Karaites in Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine. National dishes are served at various cafeterias and restaurants in Trakai.
The Rumšiškes Open-Air Folklore Museum is one of the largest museums of its type in Europe, covering 194 ha of territory and with 91,420 items in its exhibit.
