Sights in The Southwest

  1. Marijampolė

    The main approach to the Kalvarija-Suwałki road border crossing with Poland is through Marijampolė (population 69,900), the largest southwestern town, with an attractive 1920s train-station building, a neobaroque twin-towered basilica (1824) and a small Old Town. Six bridges cross the Šešupė River, dividing old town from new, and an Ethnographic Museum reflects daily southwestern life a couple of centuries ago.

  2. Alytus

    Pretty Alytus, snug in a 16km loop of the Nemunas River 72km southeast, is the capital of the southern ethnographic Dzūkija region. Cycling paths are plentiful and the town is a springboard for green forays into the Žuvintas Nature Reserve, an important breeding ground for birds.
