Kaunas

The second-city of Kaunas proudly lays its claim as the country's alternative center and partying capital, jutting out over the confluences of the Nemunas and Neris rivers right in the heartlands of central Lithuania.

Thousands of students fuel the nightlife, which erupts on Laisves Aleja's tree-lined boulevard and among the historic centre's countless craft bars and underground drinkeries, while daytime activities include exploring the crumbling bulwarks of Kaunas Castle and wandering the enchanting cobblestone alleys of Kaunas' prettiest district, which is home to charming medieval merchant guilds and one gorgeous city hall.

Then there are the exhibitions dedicated to M. K. Ciurlionis (probably Lithuania's most well-known artist), which are a must-see! One of Europe's oldest funiculars may be found not far from the Devil's museum! It's strongly advised that you should take a trip up to the church of Christ's Resurrection, which is a massive white structure. A wonderful panoramic view of Kaunas can be seen from the top of the church.
