A realm of medieval charm.

#2024wish Two years ago, my journey led me to the Trakai Island Castle in Vilnius, Lithuania, a place where history and fantasy converge. As I strolled along the cobblestone paths, the castle's red-brick façade emerged, surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of Lake Galvė. The air was filled with a sense of timelessness, transporting me to a fairytale landscape. Crossing the wooden drawbridge, I entered a realm of medieval charm. The castle's interiors, adorned with artifacts and echoes of the past, revealed the rich tapestry of Lithuania's history. Climbing the castle walls offered panoramic views of the idyllic surroundings, enhancing the enchantment of this historical gem. Trakai Island Castle became not just a destination but a vivid chapter in my personal fairytale of exploration. In 2024, I wish to visit Langkawi.

Trakai castle, Lithuania. Just 30 minutes train ride from Vilnius you can discover this beautiful castle built in a little island in a lake. With less than half an hour of walk from the train station you can have this wonderful view, and just with some more minute you can arrive in front of it and, if you want, visit it!! #castle #lithuania #travel #vilnius #lake

YOUR NEXT ATTRACTION LITHUANIA 🇱🇹

I came here as a VOLUNTEER ! To explore all that’s great in the Lithuania. I enjoyed this trip very much. Alot of places to shop for Souvenirs, Restaurants, and Activities ! I was in the mood for some breakfast and noticed how different some of the dishes were. Also, Drinks of course are different as well ( not in the pictures) I love me a nice cold drink of lemonade and theirs have a very unique taste to it. Trakai castle was very cool.. I learned alot about its history and it was very enjoyable to see Putin inside of the Well in shackles 😂 Last but not least I’ve done the boat rides but having to pedal yourself seemed to be therapeutic and easier than we thought. Loved ever bit of it. 10/10 I RECOMMEND COMING HERE ON YOUR NEXT TRIP !! #Castle #mytripvlog #2023travelwish

This is the only surviving gate of the first original five gates in the city wall that was built between 1503 and 1522.

One's of the #most famous #vilnius landmarks is #st.AnneChurch that starts with the alleged construction in the 14th century but the current Gothic masterpiece is believed to have been built between 1495 and 1500 to a design by the Bohemian architect Benedikt Rejt (1453-1534), most famous for designing parts of Prague Castle. Visiting in 1812, Napoleon famously noted that he wanted to take the building back to Paris on the palm of his hand #lithuania #unforgetabletrip #church #happynewyear
