Coordinates : 54.65211841398465, 24.933297012014656 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Trakai Castle is a historic building in Trakai, Lithuania, located on Lake Galve. In addition to the beautiful views of the castle on the lake, it is possible to take nature photography of the aviofauna that populates the lake. In the summer season, at sunset, many (and colorful) hot air balloons rise from the meadows that make the atmosphere even more magical.

Recommended equipment : Tripods, Wide angle (14-24 or 14-30 or similar) all-rounder (24-70 or similar), super telephoto (100-400 or similar). ND and Polarizer filters.

Best months : Any time of the year is suitable (transfer and the possibility of staying near the lake / castle should be evaluated). In summer there are sensational golden hours and in winter the snow and the frozen lake make the location truly indescribable.

How to get there : From Vilnius (reachable by direct low-cost flights from the main Italian cities or with stopovers in the main hubs of European airlines) it is possible to use one of the following means: rental car, train (from Vilnius Central Station) or bus (Sod Gatvé 22 - Vilnius Central Station). In about 40 minutes you will reach Trakai.

Visits : Entrance to the castle is subject to a fee (about ten euros per person, children free). For photographs (all from outside the structure) you don't pay anything and all the spots are within walking distance, easily and without paying any amount.
