- Explore Hill of crosses, a hidden gem.
The tradition began after the 1831 uprising when families couldn’t find the bodies of their fallen loved ones. When Latvia was under Soviet control between 1944 and 1990, the hill was bulldozed on 3 occasions to clear away the religious symbols, and even put under guard to try to keep locals away, all to no avail.
- Take in the panoramic views from Trakai castle or enjoy Lake Trakai catamaran ride, providing a perfect balance of nature and culture. In the late 14th century, Grand Duke Kęstutis began building an island castle, but he was assassinated before its completion.
