Kaunas Walking Tour
Kaunas, Lithuania
Why Walk Kaunas
Kaunas served as Lithuania's temporary capital from 1920 to 1940 when Vilnius was under Polish control, and the city filled with modernist architecture during that period — its interwar buildings are now a UNESCO-recognized heritage. The old town, at the confluence of the Nemunas and Neris rivers, preserves a Gothic castle and Renaissance town hall. Kaunas was European Capital of Culture in 2022.
