特拉凯城堡印象

我去的时候正好是寒冷的天气，气温只有两三度左右，刮著大风而且是阴天！即使这样，城堡看起来还是很漂亮的，如果是好天气的话一定有完美的倒影和体验！

There is a world of difference between the general gist of 'Average' and 'Very Good'. Trakai castle is just 'Good'. It's amazing location, I'll give it that. Trakai in summer is full of life and lovely cafes to sit and enjoy the weird little island world around you, and in winter you can go have fun out on the frozen lakes and then go inside and get a kibinai. But the castle itself? It's pretty good. I mean, it's half reconstructed, and the reconstruction does look considerably newer than the original parts of the castle. But still, it felt quite sparse and... unspectacular.

We visited Trakai castle two days ago. The lake was iced over and it was stunning, it made the whole experience better. There was archery inside the castle and you could pay 2 euros and have a go.We got a bus from Vilnius bus station which is right opposite the train station, and the bus took half an hour. We got a bus back afterwards too which luckily was in the station when we got there, so we timed it well!We also ate in the restaurant opposite the castle with the glass front, I have forgotten the name of it unfortunately but the food was great and reasonably priced and they do warm cocktails!

This is the biggest castle in country. Nothing compare with British castles or towers but still nice and cozy. There is a lake around offers some interesting attractions on water. Some good restaurants not far in town.

Excellent from the moment we arrived at the frozen lakeside and saw the red walls and roofs on the island. Its a 30 minute walk from the bus station where we arrived after paying 1.70 to get there by bus from Vilnius. The exhibits including restoration models and history of the castle were excellent as were the many coin hoards on display. Armour and silverware better than the Grand Palace in Vilnius. Well worth the trip out here.

This trip was amazing although the castle was closed.The 'town' has a unique vibe, the lake is stunning, the setting amazing!

We were staying in Vilnius city centre and ventured out to Trakai because we'd heard such great things. We hopped on one of the local buses to the 'Stotis' (bus station) and then got a bus from platform 6. You pay the driver 1.77 euro for a single and the journey takes about 30-40 minutes. Get off at the bus station and walk up the main street. You won't miss the castle. It's gorgeous. We went when the lake was iced over so we wandered out on to it (we judged it to be more than safe as there was ice fishing and ice hockey taking place). We didn't go on the tour but it looked very reasonably priced. We wandered round the outside of the castle and round the lake, it was gorgeous.There were coffee shops around but we didn't go in so can't vouch for them.We wandered back the long way round the edge of the lake and got back on the bus. Well worth a visit!

We stayed in Vilnius for 3 nights. After reading about 40 minute bus journeys to Trakai and 40 minutes walks onwards to the Castle we nearly decided not to go. That would have been a big mistake. In the end, and unusually for us, we went on a guided tour of the Castle from Vilnius (32 euro). The tour guide was excellent and the castle was tremendous - for us it was a must see. The 4 hour trip passed exceedingly quickly.As you can see form the photos, the lake was frozen and walkable, the weather superb and the castle and scenery magnificent. It is not a World Heritage Site because there has been an extensive amount of reconstruction after centuries of ruin. However that does not detract from splendour of the site.Would I recommend the guided tour or the public bus? Normally we would take the bus giving us maximum flexibility (and lower cost). However due to a recent injury we did not fancy the long walks across potentially icy and slippery paths. The knowledge and fluency of the guide made it a very entertaining, worthwhile visit - for us on the day, this was the best choice. On another day without the risk of further injury we would take the bus.

It's a fairy tail place, the building inside is wonderful to explore, lots to see. Not overly commercial, easy to get around and the Castle will take your breath away. Great place to take an entire day.

I actually went to Trakai castle in Dec 2014 AND May 2013. December was cold, with snow around and much of the lake was frozen, there was only a handful of visitors and few shops were open - it was awesome. In May it was scorching hot, with many more visitors to the area but still really cool. The castle itself is quite cool and worth a visit (especially in winter when there are fewer tourists) but the area is what really makes this place. The castle is situated in the middle of a large lake that you can hire boats, and peddle-boats by the hour or you can walk around the small lake-side shops and cafes. Its a very peaceful and stunning place to visit. We even had a couple of fighter jets fly over the top of us during a training routine - terrifying when we were on a peddle boat as the planes flew VERY low but also very cool.If you're staying in Vilnius there is a train and a bus that can get you to Trakai quite easily and cheaply and the castle is about 30mins to get to from the bus station if you're walking slowly in the blistering heat - there are plenty of shops to get water and ice creams on the way though!well worth a visit if you have a day to spare!It does cost to enter the castle, but the area is free to explore outside.
