About this activity

Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Trokai. On this self-guided walking tour, you'll breathe in the blue skies surrounding the colourful wooden city and its castle.

You'll wind through Karaite Street, where you can admire its colourful wooden houses. Tour producer Agnieska will tell you about the Caraite nation, which arrived from Crimea 600 years ago. You’ll hear stories of local folklore as you cross the bridge to Trakai Island Castle, the town’s main attraction, which dates back to the 1300s.

As you walk around its perimeter, Agnieska will share stories about medieval battles at this gothic castle and its place in modern Trakai and Lithuania.
