Absolutely worth to take a trip! It takes aprox 30 mins by bus from Vilnius and one way ticket costs only 1.77 euro. Dont forget to taste their famous yummy kybinai from "foodtruck" near to the river

Cenker Köse

Beautiful castle and it is full of furnitures ; the amazing thing is that people, who used to live here, had used all of the items you see inside. It is worth to visit; even for the bridge entrance!

Irina

A must-go place when in Lithuania . Beautifully restored historical monument in a picturesque setting. Enjoy a walk outside the castle walls on a late spring day. It's a memorable place.

Ilya

Beautiful castle , but the museum part inside is not worth visiting. Night lighting is also quite good and romantic . Also, there's a nice restaurant opposite the castle , leftish from the bridge .

Tori Sovak

Very cool! Costs about 6-8 euros to see the inside though. But there's food, shops, and boating all in this area. Definitely recommend.

Greta Briedytė

Amazing historical place of Lithuania . In the summertime It’s a must to take a boat to explore the island tower!

Jenna Rose Robbins

If "Game of Thrones" hasn't shot, they should. Medieval architecture and history abounds, although note that there are a slew of stairs (and, natch, no elevators ).

Sharon Peppard

Get a bus from Vilnius 2 Euro each way takes about half an hour well worth it

Max Wenneker

Beautiful castle with cool history exhibit inside

Cin Dy

Great to learn about Lithuanian history (not just the history of the castle )

Mikhail L

Worth visiting Trakai, but for the nature, lake and a great walk, rather than castle crowding with the tourists .

Līga Loseva

Beautiful place! Near Vilnius! One of the places not to miss.

Pinar Nebel

Wonderful place with a wonderful view

Dainis

You can go around the castle on island for free. Entrance costs some money though.

Carl Griffin

Beautiful 14th century castle strategically positioned on a peninsula.

Luca Paleari

After a tour in the island cast in a cold day the best place to go to eat it's the wooden house! Try the kibinai.

Kipras Bielinskas

I think the most amazing Castle in Lithuania , although compared to Poland it's quite small

orkun

amazing piece of history, shouldn't be missed during your Vilnius visit.

Nice hike outside the Castle and nothing new inside

Andrew Smith

The restoration has ruined the historic nature of the place. There's not much to see inside but it's quite small so at least it's over fairly quickly.

Līna Ozoliņa

Beautiful castle with lots to see and do.

Sol Veiga

Tons of mosquitos in the evening! Gels and sprays highly recommended.

Tuncay Çelik

A must-see place in Vilnius

Roberts Akmens

So nice, one of the best palace in the world.

Damien Saunders

One of the biggest and best historic castles in Eastern Europe. Worth a trip on a warm day you can sit by the lake and enjoy a cool drink

Beautiful town , castle , lakes but too many tourists .

Vladimir Poplavskij

Best castle in the Lithuania

Nd Mokiets

Personnel was just awful! I understand we were quite close to closing the inner part castle , but still they just have to be simply polite. Never in Lithuania I got that rude behavior.

Stewie Villainy

Wonderful place!

Nerijus Malinauskas

Take a boat and row around the castle

Yura Ribchik

Потрясающе интересно! Очень красиво! Получила огромное удовольствие от посещения этого замка ! Рекомендую!!!

Марина Май

Обязательно стоит сьездить, совсем близко от Вильнюса. И в замке интересно побродить и рядом полюбоваться на закат . Отличное место ????

Mel de Abelha

Lindo por dentro e por fora. E andar de pedalinho no lago é uma ótima pedida.

Anik

In each of the castle's halls you can find useful desks with interesting historical info in different languages. В залах замка есть стойки с исторической информацией на разных языках .

Olga Slezko

Красивый замок , окружённый водой в уютном маленьком городке с мощеными дорожками) Все, что надо для приятного душевного отдыха )

Roman Ven

Очень понравилось! Для отдыха семьей отлично подойдёт. Советую ехать летом, в 20х числах августа, там проводят средневековые ярмарки )

Vanessa Martini

El castillo , la brisa , el paseo, el lago ... simplemente de película

Nataliya Semenova

Замок очень красивый. Ездили зимой в -17 градусов. Есть где погреться, вокруг много приятных кафе , в самом замке тепло.

Sergej

Отличное место, можно погулять по этажам средневекового замка . На 3 этаже есть почта , можно прямо оттуда отправить открытку. В крепости на 2 этаже на открытку можно поставить печать с гербом.

Mila

Вход 6 евро. Есть что посмотреть! Много залов и истории. Интересное место, но очень раздражало представление в стенах замка , очень громко и портит ощущения(
