Trakai is a historic lakeside town best known for the magnificent Trakai Island Castle, a 14th-century Gothic fortress situated on an island in Lake Galvė and for its multicultural history. For centuries, it was home to the Karaims (Karaites), a Turkic ethnic and religious minority brought to Lithuania by Vytautas the Great in the late 14th century. Their unique traditions, architecture, and cuisine remain an important part of the town's identity today.
