The very impressive XIX century manor overlooking the Galve lake in Trakai is a must-see when you are visiting Lithuania. Luckily, it is located just around 40 km from the capital Vilnius, which gives you no excuses to skip this route. On the other shore of the Galve lake there is the famous Trakai castle, the previous capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania before at the times of the Great Duke Gediminas moved the metropolis to Vilnius.
