Sightseeing

Island castle built on a small island in a lake. The Grand Dukes of Lithuania used to live in this castle before moving to Vilnius. In the summer you can rent row boats and bicycle boats. Also a great place to find "Kibinai" a baked dumpling snack traditionally made by the Karaite people who used to guard the castle.
