Discover Lithuania: Vilnius, Kaunas and Trakai

Trakai — Water Castle
The Gothic water castle of Trakai sits on an island in the middle of a lake — Lithuania's most fairytale-like sight, just 28 km from Vilnius.

Nature & National Parks
Lithuania's four national parks offer untouched nature: Aukštaitija's lakes, Žemaitija's hills and the Dzūkija forests invite hiking and canoeing.
