You can also enjoy a Boat trip to Trakai (for an additional charge). Lunch and entrance fees are not included in the price. The castle is famous for its Gothic architecture and its special location – it stands on an island on Lake Galve, one of the deepest lakes in Lithuania. The view of the historic structure is straight out of a fairy tale. You can reach the castle by crossing the long wooden bridge. In the winter the lake freezes over and becomes a natural skating rink. You can also take a special view of the castle from a yacht. Visit the museum inside the castle to explore the Grand Dukes of Lithuania exhibitions, various archaeological findings and artifacts, and a collection of art. In the summer there are medieval festivals and various events and concerts in the castle’s courtyard. Užutrakis Manor is one of the brightest and best-preserved manors in Lithuania. Established and restored on the shores of Lake Galvė, the ensemble of the manor and the park reflects the spirit of 19th-century Lithuanian nobility. Count Juozapas Tiškevičius, together with his wife Jadvyga, established Užutrakis Manor at the beginning of the 20th century after being inspired by the unique Trakai landscape. Hill of Angels - the place for fostering human devotion and spirituality. It is spotted with plenty of finely crafted wooden angel sculptures, wrought sun-like crosses, and life trees decorated with traditional national symbols. 18 angel sculptures found a new home on the Hill.
