Druskininkai is Lithuania's oldest, largest, and most internationally acclaimed spa town, located within the endless pine forests of the southern Dzūkija region. Since the 19th century, visitors have flocked here to benefit from the healing properties of the local mineral springs and therapeutic mud baths. The town features a unique blend of relaxation and high-energy recreation: alongside traditional sanatoriums and the massive Aqua Park, it features the spectacular Snow Arena, one of Europe's largest indoor ski slopes.
