Kaunas, Second largest city in Lithuania
Kaunas spans across the meeting point of the Nemunas and Neris rivers, featuring medieval architecture alongside modernist buildings from the 1920s and 1930s period.
The city received its municipal rights in 1408 and later joined the Hanseatic League in 1441, establishing itself as a significant trading center in the Baltic region.
The Devils Museum contains over 3,000 figurines representing devils from Lithuanian folklore and international cultural traditions, making it a distinct collection worldwide.
Kaunas Airport connects to multiple European destinations through regular flights, while buses and trains provide frequent services to the capital city Vilnius.
The Ninth Fort memorial complex, constructed in limestone, stands 32 meters high and commemorates the victims of World War II mass executions.
