Kaunas

Lithuania's second city, the former temporary capital, where the Nemunas and Neris meet: modernist architecture, museums, festivals and big parks.

About the city

Kaunas is the second-largest city in Lithuania, located where the Nemunas and Neris rivers meet. From unique architecture to galleries and theatres, Kaunas is truly full of culture.

Kaunas is also a green city. Huge parks blend perfectly with residential districts, so you can take a walk in a large park right in the city centre or in Panemunė. Lithuania's great rivers, the Kaunas Reservoir and the Lampėdžiai Quarry are perfect for water tourism, active leisure and outdoor sports, or simply a picnic with friends.

Kaunas is a modern, creative and inclusive city. Just how full of culture it is shows in the choice residents and visitors have: more than 50 museums and galleries, plus a wide range of festivals and events.
