Bike Rental
Cruising around by pedal-power is hip. Bicycles and two- or four-seater buggies can be rented from the corner of Vilniaus and Laisvės alėjas, Vilniaus alėja 10 or next to the tourist office on Čiurlionio gatvė.
The tourist office sells cycling maps covering three cycling trails: the southbound riverside Sun Path (Saulės takas; 24km) - also a footpath - goes to the windmill museum, Stars Orbit (Žvaigzdžių orbita; 20km) snakes south into the Raigardas Valley, and the forested eastbound Žilnas Path (Žilvino takas; 20km) links Druskininkai with Grūtas Park 8km east - a great day trip.
