Kaunas is a city with a rich history and a vibrant atmosphere, the second largest in Lithuania and once a temporary capital. It is located at the confluence of two large rivers Neris and Neman, where the old streets of the old city coexist with spacious alleys and cozy embankments. There is a mixture of medieval buildings, baroque ensembles and modern urban life, which makes Kaunas attractive for hiking and long discoveries.
Man-made sights of the city are impressive in variety: the green pedestrian Laisves Alley is a favorite place for walks and meetings, Kaunas Castle is an ancient defensive fortress with a rich history, the Pažaislis Monastery is an outstanding Baroque ensemble on the banks of the Neman, and the famous town hall “White Swan” in the heart of the Old Town. In the vicinity are Raudondvaris Castle with a park, numerous churches and monasteries, as well as more than seventy museums and cultural centers that make Kaunas an important cultural center of the region.
The natural corners around the city complement its image: picturesque embankments of Nerman and Neris, forest park areas near Pažaislis, oak groves where the Kaunas Zoo is located, and cozy park areas for picnics and family walks.
