Mineral waters

Birštonas became one of the top resort towns in Lithuania not only because of the surrounding wonderful nature and friendly people, who really know how to welcome visitors from all over the world. Actually, the main reason why Birštonas is so popular today is the water that runs through this place. It would be hard to find a more healthy and full of minerals water than in this little town. If you purchase some Lithuanian mineral water at the supermarket, you can be sure that it was produced in Birštonas.

Enjoy beautiful nature

Birštonas is surrounded by wonderful forests so make sure to find some time for a peaceful walk in the fresh air. Also, the river Nemunas, the biggest river in Lithuania, runs through Birštonas, creating wonderful sceneries and a calm atmosphere.
