Lithuania combines medieval architecture with expansive natural areas and a complex history. The capital Vilnius presents Gediminas Tower, baroque churches such as Saints Peter and Paul Church and the Gate of Dawn, as well as reminders of Soviet occupation including the KGB Bunker Museum and Lukiškės Prison. Trakai Castle, situated on an island in a lake, ranks among the country's most recognized historical structures. Kaunas, the second-largest city, holds the baroque Pažaislis Monastery, the Christ's Resurrection Basilica, and the Ninth Fort, a memorial to Second World War victims. The Baltic Sea coast features the port city of Klaipėda and the Curonian Spit, a narrow land formation with shifting dunes and fishing villages. Inland, several national parks extend across the landscape, including Aukštaitija with its lakes and forests, Žemaitija surrounding Lake Plateliai, and Dzukija in the south. The spa town of Druskininkai is known for its mineral springs, wellness facilities, and Grūtas sculpture park, which exhibits Soviet-era statues. Other sites include the archaeological area of Kernavė, the Hill of Crosses near Šiauliai, the Nemunas Delta, and several castles such as Kaunas, Biržai, Medininkai, Panemunė, and Raudondvaris. The Užupis district in Vilnius draws visitors with its alternative arts scene.
