Marijampole, the seventh town in Lithuania according to size, has been the regional center since 1994. The city covers an area equal to 2050.7 hectares. The sesupe river divides the city into two parts, connected by six bridges.
Marijampole is easily accessible from the rest of Lithuania. Vilnius, the country’s capital, is 139 km away, while Klaipeda, the seaport city, is 231 km. Marijampole is fortunate to be located at the crossroads of two very important main roads. The Via Baltica (after reconstruction) will connect Helsinki with Central and Southern Europe. The other highway links the city of Königsberg (Kaliningrad) with Byelorussia.
Marijampole is connected to its partners by business, sport, education, tourism, and other ties. The business community of Marijampole is continually in search of possible partners in foreign countries, as well as foreign capital investors.
