Druskininkai Spa Lithuania

Druskininkai, Lithuania's most celebrated spa resort city on the Nemunas River in the southern Dzūkija region, takes its very name from the Lithuanian word for salt — a fitting reflection of the mineral richness of its underground chloride-sodium waters enjoyed for relaxation and bathing since formal spa development began in the late 18th century. Enveloped in the pine forests of the Dzūkija region, the city's wooden spa architecture and shaded promenade parks create an atmosphere of serene Central European resort culture. The Aquapark water complex and the Grūto Parkas outdoor museum of Soviet-era statues offer two fascinatingly contrasting attractions complementing the town's thermal heritage. Located two hours from Vilnius and accessible year-round.
