The Marijampolės krašto ir Prezidento Kazio Griniaus muziejus focuses on the way of life of the Suvalkier, as well as the history of the Marijampolė region and the town. The exhibitions “Tautos dvasia” and “Miestas prie Šešupės” offer two named points of interest for a museum visit. If you are interested in regional history and ways of life, you will find themes here that go beyond simply sightseeing in town.

A three-kilometre dendrological nature trail runs through Pašešupio Park. Its length is a useful point of reference if you would like to include a walk in your travel plans. Its designation as a nature trail sets it apart from a route described merely as a path: learning about a particular theme is part of the experience. The park therefore offers a connection with nature alongside the town’s cultural attractions.

If you are interested in plants and nature, you can add this trail to your itinerary as a separate activity.

MALONNY stands for “Marijampolė, Londonas, Niujorkas: idėjų migracija” and is an international street art and architecture symposium. It has been held in Marijampolė since 2014. Its title names the three cities and the migration of ideas as points of reference for the symposium. For travellers interested in the connection between art and architecture, it offers a distinct cultural focus alongside the museum.

The Beatričė Kleizaitė-Vasaris Art Gallery opened in the Haknasat-Orhim Synagogue. This connects the gallery with a named location and a specific cultural institution. As part of your themed itinerary, it adds another art-related destination alongside the street art and architecture symposium and the museum focused on regional history. The different offerings appeal to a range of interests: history, architecture, street art or galleries.

When looking for a hotel, you can first consider which of these focuses matters for your trip and which accommodation best suits your own preferences for location and comfort.
