Why Visit Druskininkai
| Druskininkai is a famous spa town where you can go for all sorts of mineral water treatments. There are a number of resorts and hotels that offer a day rate to sit in the sauna, in the salt rooms, take a mud bath, etc. The town’s water is mineralized which means it’s good for you but be warned it will taste like minerals. I’d suggest an overnight visit to Druskininkai as it will allow you to unwind and be sure to have a meal here and try their local regional cuisine. Additionally, the main town’s fountain in front of the water park and Europa Royale hotel features rock music in its evening water show, a first for me and why I love traveling and stumbling upon quirky elements like this. |
