Description

This tour will introduce the city of Kaunas during its "golden age", the interwar period. A time when a small provincial town became the temporary capital of Lithuania, and the city we see today emerged.

During your time in Kaunas, you will learn about its social and cultural life, discover why it was nicknamed "Little Paris," and explore and climb one of the hidden staircases of Kaunas' hills. We will touch upon darker historical moments of the city.

We will start our tour at Vytautas the Great Monument and finish at St. Michael the Archangel's Church, both located on Freedom Avenue. Let's embark on a journey together and discover the city as it was 100 years ago!

Includes

  • Statue of Grand Duke Vytautas
  • St. Michael the Archangel's Church

Thank you Daina

I was looking for a tour on a specific afternoon, but there was nothing available, so I contacted Daina. She kindly arranged a tour for us, and I really appreciate that! The tour itself was very interesting and we learned a lot. Highly recommended!

Perfect

Our tour was truly fascinating. Daina shared unique and insightful stories about Lithuania's second-largest city, giving us a much deeper understanding of Kaunas. She took us to places we never would have discovered on our own, making the experience both memorable and authentic. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kaunas.
