Kaunas Travel Guide: Flights & Hotels
Lithuania · KUN
Lithuania's second city sits at the meeting point of two rivers and has one of the largest collections of interwar modernist architecture in Europe, a legacy of its stint as temporary capital between the world wars. It's smaller and quieter than Vilnius, with a similarly walkable old town.
May-September offers the mildest weather for the pedestrian Laisvės Alėja boulevard and riverside walks. Kaunas pairs easily with Vilnius, about 1.5 hours away by train, for a two-city Lithuania trip.
