Druskininkai & Grūtas Park

We will take in the breathtaking view at Pūčkorių atodanga much loved by the locals as a romantic spot. You will learn about the medieval period and the famous Northern Crusades in Lithuania at the Medininkai Castle, one of several historical defences near Vilnius. The high red-brick walls hide many secrets about old Lithuania.

Be astonished by the brief but glorious history of the Pawlowo Republika, a country you probably have never heard of before by walking between the picturesque ruins that were left behind. Take a leisurely stroll through Druskininkai that is known and loved by the locals as a resort town. From beautiful parks to colourful churches and singing fountains, Druskininkai is full of many surprises.

Soak in the recent history and what is left behind when a dictatorship falls by visiting the Grūtas Park, a truly unique landmark in Lithuania. Grūtas Park is where many of the Soviet era monuments of famous communists and party leaders have come to rest. Long removed from their original locations this is where you can still come face to face with Lenin and others. The imposing statues along with now useless propaganda posters and books will leave a lasting impression.

In Druskininkai we also stop for a lunch at a local restaurant. Kindly let our guides know if you have any special dietary needs that we should take in account. Location of the lunch is subject to availability and the meal is not included in the price of the tour.
