Apverstas namas Druskininkuose

At the Upside Down House (Apverstas namas) in Druskininkai, you can do exactly that! This quirky attraction turns reality on its head – quite literally. Picture this: a fully furnished two-story house flipped completely upside down, where everything from the furniture to the bathroom fixtures hangs above your head.

I gotta tell ya, walking through this topsy-turvy house messes with your mind in the best possible way. The beds, tables, chairs, and even a car in the garage are all mounted upside down, creating this wild illusion that YOU’RE the one walking on the ceiling. It’s like stepping into some kind of dream world – or maybe what Alice felt like in Wonderland!

The attention to detail is pretty impressive. They’ve thought of everything – from the inverted kitchen appliances to the bathroom amenities. Even the decorations and family photos on the walls are flipped! The house looks just like a regular Lithuanian home would, except… well, you know.

Best Time to Visit

The Upside Down House is a year-round attraction, but timing your visit right can make a big difference. Early mornings (right when they open) or late afternoons tend to be less crowded. Summer months can get pretty packed with tourists, especially between 11 AM and 3 PM.

If you’re coming during peak tourist season (June-August), try visiting on weekdays rather than weekends. Winter visits can be particularly cool – there’s something extra magical about seeing this topsy-turvy house surrounded by snow!

How to Get There

Getting to the Upside Down House is pretty straightforward. It’s located in the heart of Druskininkai, Lithuania’s famous spa town. You can easily reach it by foot if you’re staying in the central area – just follow the signs (trust me, you can’t miss a house standing on its roof!).

If you’re driving, there’s parking available nearby. Coming from Vilnius? Hop on a bus – they run regularly from the capital and take about 2 hours. Once in Druskininkai, you can take a local bus or grab a quick taxi ride to the attraction.

Tips for Visiting

Here’s what I’ve learned from my visits – bring your camera! The photo ops are endless, and you’ll want to capture every bizarre angle. Wear comfortable shoes because you’ll be walking around quite a bit, and the unusual perspective can throw off your balance.

Plan to spend about 30-45 minutes inside – that’s usually enough time to explore everything and take plenty of pictures. Pro tip: try taking photos while holding your camera upside down – when you flip the picture later, it looks like you’re performing gravity-defying stunts!

If you’re visiting with kids (and you totally should), prepare them for the weird sensation. Some little ones might need a minute to adjust to the unusual perspective. Oh, and don’t forget to visit the gift shop – they’ve got some pretty unique souvenirs that make great conversation starters back home.

One last thing – try to avoid eating a heavy meal right before visiting. The topsy-turvy environment can make some folks feel a bit dizzy, especially if you’ve just had lunch. Trust me on this one – I learned it the hard way during my first visit!
