Together with the calm environment, fresh air and scenic views of nature, these rituals help your body relax and recharge.
To those looking for active recreation, the town offers snowboarding, canoeing, boating, fishing, and more. Other popular options include engaging archery lessons, steamy hot saunas, and tons of fun in the water at the AQUA Park.
Interesting facts and useful information
ECCENTRIC MUSEUM
Upon first discovering it, people are often surprised that something as seemingly outlandish as the Grūtas Park open-air museum even exists. The park features a vast collection of Soviet monuments, sculptures, and other artefacts once used to purvey the regime’s ideology that had a deeply repressive and corrosive effect on moral and national values. By putting it all on full display, the park’s founders hope their initiative will serve to educate and warn many future generations to come.
WIDE VARIETY OF EVENTS
The visitors of Druskininkai have much to choose from when it comes to quality recreational services: from rejuvenating wellness rituals and guided tours around town to cultural events, popular entertainment, and sporting activities ideal for both working up a sweat and recharging your body.
DEEP SPA TRADITIONS
Druskininkai – the oldest resort town in Lithuania – has deep-rooted spa traditions, which allow its visitors to enjoy advanced, top-quality wellness services.
