About Kaunas
Kaunas is Lithuania's second city, where the Nemunas and Neris meet, with a medieval old town, a pedestrian avenue and interwar modernist buildings.
The old town sits at the point where the Neris joins the Nemunas, with a medieval castle, a cobbled Town Hall Square and the white Town Hall, nicknamed the White Swan, at its heart. Vilnius Street, lined with merchants' houses, runs through the old town, and the Gothic Vytautas the Great Church stands in brick close to the river.
Top-ranked sights in Kaunas: Pazaislis Monastery (Pazaislio Vienuolynas), Kaunas Castle, Ninth Fort.
