Kaunas

The Essential

Recommended

Kaunas is Lithuania's second city and should not be missed. This place is bustling (most notably on Laisv?s Street), rich in museums and religious buildings in its historic centre, and renowned worldwide for its champion basketball team. Follow the River Niemen that runs through the city, either downstream westwards or upstream southwards, into a beautiful landscape of fine country residences, villages of wooden houses and the amazing open-air museum that is Lithuania.
