About Kaunas

Kaunas is Lithuania’s second-largest city, rich in history and culture, offering a unique blend of old-world charm and modern vibrancy. It served as the temporary capital of Lithuania between the World Wars, which is reflected in its impressive interwar architecture. The city’s location at the confluence of the Nemunas and Neris rivers provides scenic views and pleasant walking routes. Kaunas appeals to tourists with its lively arts scene, numerous museums, and historic sites such as medieval castles and baroque churches. It is also known for its vibrant café culture, festivals, and a youthful atmosphere due to its large student population. Visitors can explore charming old town streets, enjoy cultural events, and experience Lithuanian traditions in a welcoming environment. Kaunas offers a less crowded alternative to Vilnius while still providing rich cultural experiences and beautiful natural surroundings.

Travel Tips

The best time to visit is late spring through early autumn for pleasant weather and outdoor activities. Pack layers as weather can be variable, especially in spring and autumn. Respect local customs such as greeting with a handshake and modest dress when visiting religious sites. Kaunas is safe, but keep an eye on belongings in crowded areas. Credit cards are widely accepted, but carrying some cash in euros is advisable for smaller purchases. Learning a few basic Lithuanian phrases can enhance your experience.
