About
Quick facts: It is housed in a restored 19th century building that was once a town hall and later a high school. It shares the same space with a small exhibition dedicated to the traditional wooden houses of the area.
Highlights: Inside the information center there is an interactive map that lights up with LED bulbs every time a visitor selects a point of interest. You can listen to recorded testimonies from locals in Lithuanian, English, and Russian, bringing the city's stories to life.
Insider tips
- Ask for the free map with hiking routes around the lakes, not just the center.
- If you have questions about local food, the staff personally know every tavern and can recommend the best kibinai in the area.
- The wooden sculptures in the back courtyard of the building are a great spot for photos without crowds.
- Avoid visiting between 12:00 and 14:00, when the bus groups flock in.
