the place is nice, quiet, cozy and very beautiful views (especially in summer when everything is green), the sunsets here are also wonderful. The disadvantage is that the entrance has recently been paid, and there is nothing to see except a couple of towers and views (
It was planned to build a cafe close to the castle, but it was not built in the right time and now nothing seems to be being built at all in that place.
A beautiful monument, or rather, what remains of it, of our Homeland.Unfortunately, there is not much historical left there, but it is still worth visiting the place.One is a new model tower, the other is under reconstruction.There are many buildings around that have a sign of historical heritage.The kurgan and the monument to Adam Mickiewicz are very interesting.There is no view from the observation deck of the kurgan to the towers - an old linden tree interferes - it would be very beautiful.
I was passing through in May! There were almost no tourists. I advise you to devote half a day to this place, take a walk around the city (the former capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania), go on an excursion to the castle (what is left of it). At the moment, restoration is underway (in my opinion, they are building a new model), they are not allowed inside. I advise Adam Mickiewicz to climb the mound, which offers an excellent panorama of the castle and the surrounding area. It is possible to combine it with a trip to Mir Castle (where there are almost no tourists after 14-15 hours).
