DRUSKININKAI
Escape from the shackles of modern city life
Whilst most visitors head to the capital, Druskininkai offers an entirely different experience of Lithuania.
Situated in the south of the country, near the border of Belarus on the Nemunas River, this spa resort town is
the prime location for escape from the shackles of modern city life. During the days of Soviet occupation, the
ailing would travel here in search of miraculous cures. This tradition of providing relief and assistance to those
most in need is rooted in the ethos of the town in the present day. An oasis of woodlands and waterways, the
scenic environs of this getaway resort town make way for the ultimate rest and relaxation.
