City in Lithuania

Kaunas

3 things to see

Kaunas is Lithuania’s second city with a walkable old town, a lively boulevard, and a street art scene that earned it European Capital of Culture status. Baltic pricing keeps food and transport cheap, and the street art, old town, and Laisves Aleja boulevard are all free to wander. It pairs naturally with Vilnius, a short and inexpensive bus or train ride away, for a low-cost Lithuania loop.
