Trakai Castle and Museum is without doubt one of the best castles I have ever visited and was well worth travelling there from Vilnius on a day trip.The castle is so incredibly pretty and scenic.There is is a lot to see and do at the castle,if you explore it fully you are looking at circa 2-3 hours of sightseeing to cover it all.Unfortunately,my girlfriend was keen to do this on a fast track,so I didn't get to cover this in the detail that I wanted to. The castle has regal interiors,artwork opulent furniture,lots of weaponry and armour,historical information and interesting displays.I took plenty of pictures,whilst sightseeing the castle.Ticket entry is 8 Euros,they try to charge you extra for a photo permit,which I never got.This permit Is not enforced,so don't waste your money getting one. You can take some amazing pictures of the pretty castle in the background as you explore the area around the castle before the bridge.You can also take a 30 minute boat tour of Lake Galva,before/after your visit to the castle. You can get to Trakai by bus from Vilnius bus station or by train.Either way will still leave you with a significant walk.We caught the bus on the way down and enjoyed a leisurely walk down there. There are a couple of churches you can visit on the way down,a smaller history museum and a I love Trakai sign/monument not to be missed as a photo taking opportunity:)On the return leg we caught the train,which is much less congested than the buses,but more infrequent and a bit further out than the bus station. Trakai Castle does get exceptionally busy,so I would recommend getting there early to beat some of the crowds.

Chiune Sugihara memorial museum is an institution dedicated to commemoration of the deeds of Japanese consul Chiune Sugihara. He was working in Kaunas in 1939-1940 and is mostly remembered for saving more than 6000 Jewish refugees.

What Sugihara did was exceptional especially knowing that his honor and respect To his superiors could have been tarnished in his society. Remember that if his wife did not push and support him saving Jews, would Sugihara still have done it?

I love the church. One can sense the tranquility inside the church. The interior of the church is beautiful. I find it interesting the others have placed miniature statues of Virgin Mary outside the church below the wooden sculpture. We took some pretty drone footage of the church and if interested to see, visit our youtube channel, The Kruns, and search for travel video about Druskininkai.

Beautiful wooden details inside, and gothic architecture outside. I totally didnt expect a post office to look like that. Majestic!
