Things to do 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.

  3. Keta

    There is no mistaking you're in provincial Lithuania at this rustic restaurant where traditional cuisine is served in a folkloric setting. Note the old weaving loom.
