Kaunas is like a younger brother of Vilnius. Sometimes it seems to be in the shadows of the capital. But make no mistake - this is a superficial paradigm – Kaunas is a very vivid both in history and now:culture is thriving, and it’s always been the innovator vs Vilnius – same 100 years ago – same it is now. See the city and some top sights around, that are usually skipped by others.
Main locations: Kaunas Old Town, Kaunas New Town, Zaliakalnis district
HIGHLIGHTS:
• See castles and streets of medieval ages
• Adore modern architecture of early 20th century

3.00Completely clean town, but the Christmas market was disappointingly small, with limited selection of goods. We should have set ourselves into attractions in advance
Kaunas and Rumsiskes, great experience to learn about history and folklore of a beautiful country.

5.00First, Marius, our guide was very flexible and accommodating. We arrived on a rainy Sunday and most of the places around Kaunas were close, but the visit was very interesting getting to know the importance of the city in the history of the country (it was the capital city for some time), and we found a superb story about the history of basketball. Afterwards, we had lunch at a restaurant that specializes in local food, great experience. On the way back from this tour, there is a stop at Rumsiskes, an open air museum with authentic country side houses, including a bunker (check it out on your visit). Be prepared for a long and beautiful walk. It's a full day experience worth doing.
