Trakai – a photo in front of the island castle, a souvenir from avenue kiosk and a kybyn in the most popular café? It‘s time to let go of this stereotypical habit and go on a tour of Trakai which will enrich your knowledge, surprise and awaken your curiosity and make you fall in love with this town. This walking tour will make you fall in love with the Karaim people and get to know their culture.

We want to show you a different side of Trakai. A town where people speak one of the rarest languages in the world. A settlement which as kept its traditions alive. Streets that were paved by the guests Vytautas brought from the south. Houses which smell of the tastiest kiubetes, krupnik and kybyns made of yeast dough. Windows which have shown the world to generations of people who cherished their identity – their traditions, language and culture.

One of the many treats awaiting those who take part in this tour is a secret to be revealed at the end – we will tell you where you can find the best kybyn and krupnik in all of Trakai.
